The Alaska Republican Party, during its quarterly meeting that took place in Fairbanks on Saturday, passed a resolution that recommends Alaskans vote “Yes” on Ballot Measure 2, which would restore the voting procedures that were in place before voters approved ranked-choice voting methods in 2020.

Alaska has been part of a push by Outside dark money coming from groups like UniteUs.org and FairVote.org to get ranked-choice voting in place in every state. These groups understand the Republican voters, many of whom are not inclined to rank candidates. Ranked-choice voting favors the more malleable Democrat voters who will do so.
