Idiocy. If i would decide - i would expand Alaska experience on all 50 states. American parties became a mockery of common sense of late, especially - Republican, which became comparable to our "United Russia" with Trump in Putin's place.. But - what else to expect: US politics degraded very much in 50+ years i observe and analyze it.. Simply - one more confirmation)))
I agree with you here and it's almost exactly what I was going to say. That would be the ideal system short of some form of proportional representation. Anything's better than top-two or the jungle primary though (where the dominant party can end up shut out of the general election). It does seem like Alaska's top-four system was designed to prevent such an occurrence.
I don't think Alaska's top-four RCV system is perfect by any means, but it's far better than what came before it. It needs to be tweaked a bit, not repealed. FPTP is awful in general, but especially in a state like Alaska. Considering how unique the Alaska Legislature is organized, I'm almost surprised there isn't a new party that could take hold (like the "Alaska Party" or something). If any faltering of the partisan duopoly happens, it will almost certainly start in Alaska (though one could say it already has begun in a small way).
