A new voting system has completely upended GOP election strategies in the Last Frontier.
Ranked-choice voting was actually built to prevent spoiler candidates and reflect ideological nuance, which is well-established in Alaska. If a voter’s first-choice candidate comes in last place, that candidate is eliminated and the voter’s second-choice vote gets counted—which means a second- or third-place candidate can come from behind to win.
“Here’s the bottom line: Vote. The. Red,” Mike Coons told the assembled crowd. As president of a chapter of the Association of Mature American Citizens, a right-leaning alternative to the AARP, Coons had tailored his presentation to his audience: older conservative Alaskans who remain suspicious of ranked-choice voting.
“By golly, I’m a never-king-salmon,” he said, of his own voting preferences. “King salmon is a Johnny-come-lately that came into this race only afterAnd yet, in Coons’ view, king salmon would be the next best outcome. So he’d ranked it second. They should, too, he said. Or, if they preferred salmon, they should put halibut in the No. 2 slot.“If all the people that voted for halibut voted for halibut, period, end of conversation…pollock takes over, and we have a Democrat in the U.S.
