The Alaska Republican Party, during its quarterly meeting that took place in Fairbanks on Saturday, passed a resolution that recommends Alaskans vote “Yes” on Ballot Measure 2, which would restore the voting procedures that were in place before voters approved ranked-choice voting methods in 2020.

Alaska has been part of a push by Outside dark money coming from groups like UniteUs.org and FairVote.org to get ranked-choice voting in place in every state. These groups understand the Republican voters, many of whom are not inclined to rank candidates. Ranked-choice voting favors the more malleable Democrat voters who will do so.

    This makes absolutely no sense. Not inclined to rank candidates? What the fuck does that mean? Humans rank things. We have preferences. Malleable voters is also absolute nonsense.

    Ranked choice favors the candidate that the majority of voters support. Republicans oppose it because they want to win seats where the majority of voters don’t want their candidates or policies.

      While I don’t agree with your statement, as a republican, I have no ability to tell you whether I like or dislike what you’ve said. I know which one and only statement I like, and your statement was not it.
