一场旨在废除阿拉斯加州排序选择投票的全民公投，将美国一些最富有的捐赠者卷入了一场围绕选举改革和政党控制的更广泛争斗。
A referendum to repeal ranked choice voting in Alaska has drawn some of the country's wealthiest donors into a broader fight over election reform and party control.
阿拉斯加选民将在下周决定——这是连续两个选举周期中的第二次——他们是否想要打乱该州的排序选择投票制度，共和党人担心这可能会让他们输掉一场势均力敌的参议院选举。
Alaska voters will decide next week for the second time in as many cycles whether they want to scramble the state’s ranked choice voting system, as Republicans fret it could cost them a tight Senate race.
除了备受关注的全州性选举之外，阿拉斯加人还在就第2号选票措施进行投票，该措施将撤销选民在2020年批准的一系列选举改革，包括该州独特的全党派初选和前4名排序选择大选。
Alongside the high-profile statewide races, Alaskans are voting on Ballot Measure 2, which would roll back a host of election reforms voters approved in 2020, including the state’s unique all-party primary and top-4 ranked choice general election.
成功废除阿拉斯加的选举改革，可能会重塑这个政治风格独特的州未来选举的竞争格局——并成为全国反排序选择运动的一大助力。
A successful repeal of Alaska’s election reforms could reshape how competitive future races in the politically idiosyncratic state will be — and be a boon for the national anti-ranked choice movement.
“阿拉斯加就像一个风向标，是一个非常独立的州，”推动第2号选票措施的主要团体“立即废除”的顾问格雷格·鲍尔斯说。“我认为阿拉斯加拒绝它，将向人们发出一个信息：‘嘿，我们试过了，离远点。’我们认为这对国家来说是一件非常好的事。”
“Alaska is like this bellwether that’s a very independent state,” said Greg Powers, a consultant for Repeal Now, the main group behind Ballot Measure 2. “I think Alaska rejecting it will send a message to people that says, ‘Hey, we tried it, just stay away.’ And we think that’s a really good thing for the country.”
