Can't have anyone Indigenous aka non white running in an election in #Alaska hey #ElonMusk? Which part of #America are YOU from again?? NOW THIS IMPACT Getty Images Is Elon Musk trying to rig Alaska elections? HE JUST DONATED $1.5 MILLION TO A GROUP WORKING TO REPEAL ALASKA'S VOTING SYSTEM.
Anchorage Daily News | Getty Images NOW THIS IMPACT Mary Peltola Democratic Senate Candidate Tech billionaire Elon Musk has given $1.5 million to a group backing a November ballot measure to repeal Alaska's ranked-choice voting system and open primaries. The system helped Democrat Mary Peltola win Alaska's 2022 special election for Congress despite the state's Republican-leaning electorate. Peltola is now running for Senate in a highly contested race against Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan, making the voting system a major target for conservatives seeking to repeal it.
chorage Daily N Getty Images NOW THIS IMPACT Musk's money went to the Wisconsin-based Aurora Action Network, which then gave $1 million to the repeal campaign. The measure would restore closed partisan primaries and pick-one general elections while eliminating campaign finance rules that reveal large donations. The repeal effort has also attracted other billionaire megadonors looking to keep big money flowing through our political system.
