'This is a very, very dangerous move and a threat to our democracy,' Republican Kelly Tshibaka told a Kenai crowd Tuesday, saying she fears other states adopting Alaska's ranked choice voting system as a successful model.
. Tshibaka said the focus of her group is on educating and persuading Alaskans.
Tshibaka said the fact that there weren’t party primaries made it harder to get to know the people running, which she said protected incumbents and establishment candidates. While Tshibaka and other conservatives have framed the 2022 election as a failure, the League of Women Voters and the group behind the new system, Alaskans for Better Elections, said it was a success. They point to the broad base of candidates who ran for open seats in Alaska.
