You know, she's like the poster child for why conservatives do not like ranked choice voting in Alaska.

So that repeal measure will be on the ballot.

Oh, it just barely failed.

And the repeal campaign was beset with problems of their own making for the most part.

And a well-funded repeal campaign certainly has a good chance of passing.

They don't like it.

It's newfangled.

They're suspicious of the way the votes are counted.

They don't like it.
