I agree, that this is the best decision.  The election "do-over" option might seem viable until you consider the precedent it would establish. Henceforth every candidate having adequate financial resources and who had lost a close race would be at the Courthouse with the "I found an egregious error and I want another election" demand.  If he or she prevailed then that same candidate using those same financial resources could overwhelm his or her opponent in the "do-over".

So now will the Legislature adopt the "KISS" principle and give Alaskans a primary ballot with all the candidates listed as long as the state is paying for the election?
