   Alaska voters enacted ranked choice voting. Why do some people want to repeal that?

     #RankedChoiceVoting (aka #InstantRunoffVoting) saved a ton of money by eliminating the need for Primaries & Runoffs, mitigates the influence of Big Money, and eliminates #Spoilers & The Two-Party System.

     But it cost Sarah #Palin the election when she ran for Congress in '22 (she received more "1st Choice" votes, but her opponent was the 2nd choice of more voters in a wide field of candidates, so she lost.)

     #RCV: Less💲, more democratic, Repubs more likely to lose, so it must go.
