Alaska's 'top-4' ranked-choice voting system is being manipulated by political parties to limit competition by only having one candidate in the top-4 lineup.

I’m glad these no-hope Dems are withdrawing to give viable Dems a better shot, but the last few cycles have shown how Alaska’s “top-4” part of ranked-choice voting isn’t working. Parties will game the top-4 lineup to have only candidate so long as enough voters refuse to rank more than one of them RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:7vj2towokzui3hgna5u5u46f/post/3mug775lpbk2i
