>(picking the same name as your opponent to confuse voters)

Here's the ballot that some suggest would confuse voters: https://ballotpedia.org/Alaska_official_sample_ballots,_2026

Could you clarify whether you expect the ballot to confuse a zero or non-zero number of people. If zero, why did their campaign staffers go out of their way to find an exact named person to put on the ballot for, in your view, an obviously futile effort. If non zero why shouldn't we care that these confused voters got disenfranchised.

A bold allegation, which, if untrue, renders your question moot

Yes, that's the allegation. You'll note that it is still under dispute.

They have stack ranked voting. Even if you are confused, your vote ends up counting correctly.

Also, this is nothing new, republicans did it too and non a peep of complaint.
