Tech billionaire Elon Musk has given $1.5 million to a group supporting the repeal of Alaska’s voting system, according to a report filed with the state Friday.
Ballot Measure 2, which will appear on the November ballot, seeks to repeal Alaska’s ranked choice voting method, along with open primaries and campaign finance laws that were themselves adopted by ballot measure in 2020.

I agree, in a sense. Murkowski was considered reliable to protect the politically connected in the Alaska. She caters to those whose political and economic power comes from the federal government and the deep state.
Ranked choice voting is a tool of the elite to prevent power from going to populists, people who are not already inside the system.

The leadership of both parties is primarily concerned with themselves.

It’ll be curious to see how RCV contorts a Yess/No ballot question into a vote for RCV.
