Alaska RCV Repeal makes ballot

[oldtimer]

How likely is this going to be approved? Did Peltola's and Murkowski's wins really trigger the right so much that they want to repeal RCV over that?

I think it's a bit more than that.

Everyone knows or believes that Murkowski pushed it specifically for her own self interest, but apparently wrecked havoc with the local state assembly and local elections to the point that the detractors where proved right.

How so?

Anyone supporting this is an enemy of democracy and a slave to the two-party system.

Alaska's system makes 0 sense and neither does RCV for single member seats.

As an Australian, I'm asking you this sincerely - what???

Cool, you spotted a typo. Care to make any effort to justify your opinion?

It's a dumb system but is still better than FPTP, especially in a state like Alaska with so many plurality victories.

and neither does RCV for single member seats.

Australia seems to do it fine.

its literally fptp plus

The initiative has been certified by Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom and will appear on the November general election ballot. There were hopes that it would get onto the August primary ballot, but this will not happen unless the legislature adjourns earlier and, even if it did, it would not be passed in time for the general.

Great news for Peltola for 2024 at least!

I support RCV and I live in Oakland where our local elections are decided by RCV.
