    But you can still only request a ballot with one primary: you cannot select the best candidate for your party and the worst for the other.

    In those states, the request for a particular ballot is, effectively, registering as a member of that party.

      The following is all regarding primaries:

      California, Alaska, and Louisiana have Ranked choice voting, in a way.

      Alaska you can vote for ranked choice for presidency. (Top 4)

      Louisiana, you vote for anyone, the ballots are not separated, so whoever wins 50% supposedly goes on (Top 4)

      California is Top 2.

      Notable mentions: Nebraska and Washington both allow top 2 voting as well regardless of party officialiation, but NOT for the presidential election yet.

      If someone sees part of this wrong, let me know so I can correct it, but last I knew that’s how different some of our states are.
