Who is saying he'll drop out if Mary Peltola runs. All I'm saying is that I want Republicans to embrace RCV. And this kind of behavior by Democrats makes a repeal more likely.

I'd prefer a 3rd party or independent but if there are 12 Republicans and 1 Democrat, the odds are good that I would.

But their voters don't like to rank. The Democrats and Independents do. So we need those candidates to show how RCV can work, by giving voters more options and finding common ground. A party should want to have more than one viable candidate in the race.

And Republicans already are suspicious of RCV being a plot against them. Narrowing the field to 1 just adds credibility to their claim.

Juneau is at least still thinking about it. Anchorage Assembly doesn't seem interested. We'll have to gather signatures to make it a ballot measure. www.ktoo.org/2025/10/30/d...

I hope to see it spread to the municipal level. Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau all considered it in 2025 but pushed it off. Embracing it in 2026 will show that it has momentum.

We need to win by a bigger margin each time for them to accept it. The Dems and Independents already like it, let's win over the Republicans this time.
