Rank these items in order of the percentage vote they will receive today:

1) Senator Mark Begich
2) Representative Don Young
3) Governor Sean Parnell
4) Increase of minimum wage
5) Legalisation of marijuana
6) Bristol Bay Mining Ban

IMO:

Young (61%)
Mining Ban (55%)
Minimum Wage (54%)
Marijuana (50%)
Parnell (49%)
Begich (48%)

Ultimately the most popular things on the Alaska ballot were:

Minimum Wage      69.35%
BB Mining Ban          65.95% 
Marijuana              53.23%
Don Young              50.95%
Bill Walker             48.1%
Dan Sullivan            47.97%
Sean Parnell          45.87%
Mark Begich             45.83%

So, a pretty bad swing against Don Young considering the previous majorities he has enjoyed (above 63% in 2012; this year underperforming Romney's 2012 win in Alaska by 4 points)

Interesting that both responders thought the BB Mining ban would go down in flames. It seems Alaska's electorate weren't feeling particularly charitable towards the extraction industry this season.
