Your state should pass electoral reform and get rid of First-past-the-post voting so republicans can't do that then!
How the solution became "vote for my person even if they don't represent you" and not "hey this voting system is broken and republicans are exploiting it. Lets fix it." Is beyond all reason.

If we replace First-past-the-post voting, we could easily see the republican party get replaced with a more reasonable conservative party like the democrats.
Plus, you know, screaming at people unrepresented in government to vote for your preferred political party isn't actually democracy.
If Alaska can do it, so can your state!
