Proposition 2 (Ranked choice Voting) was passed in Alaska this past election. The way I understand it is that there will not be party primaries now. I think this was done to help insure Murkowski keeps her seat in 22. She gets democratic and republican (Rino) support. She lost her Republican Primary a while back to Joe Miller and still managed to win the election as a write in candidate. I really want to see her go as an Alaskan. She is the very essence of the swamp. I can't stand her but she is dug in deep and I don't know if we ever will be rid of the wretched woman.I'll keep voting against her as I have in the past Sarah Palin would not be able to beat her up here anymore. She is damaged goods politically speaking. I think if it wasn't for prop 2 passing that we could have primaried her out, but somehow it passed.There was more outside of Alaska money than there has ever been up here this past election. I have heard that is a new strategy of the left, flooding small population rural states with money. I know there are other Republicans who could beat her. She is very unpopular with most but not all Republicans. The thing is learning how to get past this new proposition (Ranked choice voting BS. Murkowski Sucks !
Maine uses ranked choice voting as well.. Perhaps that's why we also have Susan Collins.
I'm not a big fan of the concept. It seems like one votes for a favorite, but also votes for "but I could also live with"..
That doesn't seem to reflect the Mainer or Alaskan spirit. I have a good friend who retired to Alaska from CT. She and her new husband had never lived there before, and she'd only been there to watch the start of Iditarod.
They're both loving life hunting, fishing, and splitting wood to keep warm. She loves being left the hell alone.
