From the transcript
And the terrible thing about the system we might go to is not only the closed primaries, not only that U's and N's could be blocked from voting in it, candidate, but a U or an N candidate actually cannot run in the primary election. Essentially, they have to travel the state, get a bunch of petition signatures, but they actually aren't allowed under the law as Ballot Measure 2 proposes it. They're not even allowed to run. So you wouldn't even have a Dale Hill who could run in the primary, which is a shame. And going back to your initial point, I think, you know, you and I shared that that under this system Alaska would become more representative.
