Alaska's system makes 0 sense and neither does RCV for single member seats. RCV proponents have decided to depoliticize voting system reform by making it about choice and heybothpartiesarecrooked because they think initiatives won't get passed otherwise.
Are they wrong in the logic?
I don't think it actually builds popular support for the system. Maine's advocates successfully framed RCV as an end to minority rule. I doubt Alaskans think of RCV in the same way and the top 4 primary seems like an unnecessarily confusing twist.
