In Alaska, you have a choice of two ballots. One is for the Republican Party; the other is for all the other parties and candidates. I don't remember just when the Repubs started doing that but it's within the last 10 years, I believe.

I don't understand its rationale. I would think they would want crossover voters. However it might be an indicator of why the Republican Party has been so cohesive and party loyal and perhaps it demonstrates the fragmented condition of the Democrats. Frankly, I much prefer the fragmentation. Unanimity often frightens me.
