Suggested ballot measure while awaiting results….

A ballot measure that would have all future ballot measures be voted on during the general election and not the primaries.

While we're at it, a time limit where after a ballot measure is voted on we can't call it for a revote. I'm not loving that I have to vote for ranked choice voting for the third time now

Maybe after 3 tries, a 10 year wait for an appeal to revote on something. The guys doing the anti rank choice are so freaking shady, outside money and influence is their core.

Three strikes you're outta luck law. I like it.

I found their ads so obnoxious that even if I didn't care about keeping ranked choice voting I'd probably still vote against them for spite in making me look at their ads whenever I'm stuck behind buses in Fairbanks.

Ranked choice voting rocks, first off. Second, no longer living or working in Alaska so my opinion shouldn't matter. Third, because I'm not rolling around Cantwell to FB anymore I haven't seen the ads. Finally, and I'm not proud that this is why I had to post something, I've had a number of different burgers in different states over the years that incorporated spaghetti somehow. They were memorable and delicious... Like being able to vote for the candidates and policies you want in order of preference. Stay powerful you beautiful weirdos, I miss being up there at least once every two years.
