LINK Alaska court upholds voter-approved election changes

JUNEAU, Alaska ✈ — The Alaska Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld as valid a voter-approved election system that would end party primaries in the state and institute ranked choice voting in general elections.

A brief order affirmed a lower court ruling from last year. A fuller opinion explaining the Supreme Court’s decision was expected later.

The ruling comes one day after the justices heard arguments in the case.

(We have no party elections here in WA, although candidates often indicate which party they will caucus with.)

I support rank choice voting especially without party affiliation.

This may open the door a crack for third, fourth or fifth Party candidates.

That might work in other states. If those states have the balls to do so.
