Yes or no, do you support maintaining open primaries and ranked choice voting in Alaska?

No. It’s too confusing and does nothing to encourage faith in the results. Alaskans need to know and be certain that their vote was counted correctly. In fact, I’d like to see more simplicity in our voting system. Why do we have multiple election days, with municipal and borough, state, and federal elections occurring on various days? We should have one election day (not month), end vote-by-mail and start hand-counting our ballots.

Alaskans voted for this law, and we must give it a chance and see it through a full election cycle before determining if changes are necessary. I would ultimately need to see any proposed bill after the legislative process, and decide when it is on my desk whether I would support or oppose any changes.
