If they want smarter voters they shouldn't de-fund education. They can have the day they voted for.

That's doing bears a major disservice.

Wait, how are two Republicans on the general election ballot? Shouldn't one of them have been eliminated in the primary?

Looking it up to answer my own question (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Alaska):

In 2020, Alaskan voters approved an initiative to implement a nonpartisan blanket top-four primary with a single, open primary where candidates from all parties are listed on the ballot and the top four vote-getters advance to the general election. This system went into effect with the 2022 elections. Prior to this, registered voters in Alaska were given a choice between three primary ballots reflecting a semi-closed primary system. Specifically, Democratic, Libertarian, Alaskan Independence and Independent candidates were listed on one ballot available to all registered voters and Republican candidates were listed on a second ballot available to voters registered as Republican, Nonpartisan or Undeclared. In 2024, Alaskans voted on a measure to repeal the system and return to partisan primaries; the measure narrowly failed to pass.

LMAO, that's amazing!
