Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan is in the middle of a competitive race as he seeks re-election this year in red-leaning Alaska in a midterm showdown that's one of roughly a dozen that will determine if the GOP keeps control of the Senate . Working against Sullivan as he runs for a third six-year term in the Senate is not only a rough political climate facing Republicans but also Alaska's unique electoral system , which includes four candidates from an open primary advancing to the general election and ranked-choice voting.

And it's one of only two states, along with Maine, to use ranked choice voting for statewide and federal races. Defenders of the system say it gives independent voters more choices, weakens party control and encourages candidates to appeal beyond their base.
