Alaska has a crazy system (”ranked choice”) which they implemented for the first time this year.
Basically it’s not worth voting, because if your candidate comes in last, your candidate and your votes are removed and added to the totals of the other candidates...the lowest one is then removed...and so on.
We need to go back to closed primaries, where you have one person voting in person for another person of their party on election day (although as in the past, accommodations can be made for people who are home-bound, traveling or for some other legitimate reason can’t make it on election day). Even a couple of days of early IN-PERSON voting would be okay.
But no open primaries, ranked choice, mail-ins for all, etc.

AMEN to that. And every voter needs to show a valid ID before they can vote. Like many other countries in the world (ie France).
