Question 3 a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Hidden in Question 3 on the November ballot is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It appears to just open primary ballots to all. But hidden in the text is Ranked Choice Voting. It’s confusing, it puts independent candidates at a massive disadvantage and favors established candidates, and if you think election results are delayed now, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Ranked choice voting has been on the ballot in Alaska for years...they’re trying to throw it out! Eric Hafner, a federal inmate serving a 20-year sentence in New York for threatening officials in New Jersey, has been allowed to remain on the ballot for Alaska’s lone U.S. House seat. Despite being incarcerated, Hafner qualified for the ballot through Alaska’s open primary system, which allows the top four vote-getters to advance to the general election, regardless of party affiliation. That could happen here in an open primary system. Vote NO on Question 3.

Hidden in question three on the November ballot is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It appears to just open primary ballots to all. But hidden in the text is ranked choice voting. It's confusing. It puts independent candidates to the massive disadvantage and favors established candidates. And if you think election results are delayed now, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Listen to this message from Ted Delacath. Former Army infantrymen and Ranger qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlist in the Army, I swore an oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens' ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on one too. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two. That means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. Get the facts. Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure.
