JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Republican former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Republican Nick Begich and independent Al Gross have advanced to the August special election for the state’s only U.S. House seat. They were among 48 candidates in last Saturday’s special primary for the seat left vacant following the death in March of Republican Rep. Don Young. The top four vote-getters in the special primary advance to a special election, set for Aug. 16, in which ranked choice voting will be used. The winner of that race will serve the remainder of Young’s term, which ends in January. State elections officials counted ballots Wednesday, and also planned counts for Friday and Tuesday.
