Several outlets highlighted that this was the second time voters had rejected such a measure, with the 2024 attempt failing narrowly. Reports mentioned that the measure would have repealed open primaries and ranked-choice voting. Some digests noted that the measure was decided as part of the November 3 election."],"centre":["Centre-rated reports also centred on the rejection of Ballot Measure 2 and the preservation of Alaska's election system, including open primaries and ranked-choice voting. Several outlets noted this was the second consecutive vote to keep the system. The Anchorage Daily News, in its full report, quoted campaign figures. Bethany Marcum, who ran the campaign supporting the ballot measure, stated that the campaign raised $2.5 million while the opposition raised $10.4 million. Scott Kendall, who helped write the 2020 initiative, described the results as 'a large and growing mandate'."],"right":["The two right-rated reports focused on the rejection of the ballot measure seeking to repeal open primaries and the ranked voting system. The Batesville Daily Guard and Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer both used similar headlines and digests to report on the outcome."],"comparison":""},"blindspot":{"status":"provisional","underrepresentedSide":"right","note":"Coverage is not closed; this is a provisional gap, not a settled blindspot
