The biggest problem is that Alaska allows FOUR top candidates - regardless of party affiliation - to go to the general election. To win, one of them needs to get a minimum of 50% of the votes. Since Alaska is HEAVILY republican-conservative, there will ALWAYS be multiple conservative candidates. In fact, this year, there is 1 liberal democrat, 2 republican conservatives, and 1 libertarian conservative. So far 81% of the votes have been counted and the democrat has about 48% of the votes. The conservative candidates combined have almost 52% of the votes, but since the conservative votes are split between them none of them could possibly win 50%!!! The conservatives have about 24, 26, and 1.5 percent of the votes which when combined add up to 52%. But because of this convoluted election system, the democrat is on the verge of winning the nomination. There should be ONE candidate from the democrat ticket and one from the republican ticket.

The conservative candidates combined have almost 52% of the votes, but since the votes are split between all of them individually none of them could possibly win 50%!!! The conservatives have about 24, 26, and 1.5 percent of the votes which when combined add up to 52% of the vote. But because of this convoluted election system, the democrat is on the verge of winning the nomination in a traditionally red state. If there was only 1 republican, that person would have declared victory already!!!!
