The August 2022 special election for U.S. House Representative in Alaskafeatured three main candidates and was conducted by by single-winner rankedchoice voting method known as ``instant runoff voting." The results of thiselection displayed a well-known but relatively rare phenomenon known as the``center squeeze:" The most centrist candidate, Mark Begich, was eliminated inthe first round despite winning an overwhelming majority of second-place votes.In fact, Begich was the {\em Condorcet winner} of this election: Based on thecast vote record, he would have defeated both of the other two candidates inhead-to-head contests, but he was eliminated in the first round of ballotcounting due to receiving the fewest first-place votes.  The purpose of this paper is to use the data in the cast vote record toexplore the range of likely outcomes if this election had been conducted undertwo alternative voting methods: Approval Voting and STAR (``Score ThenAutomatic Runoff") Voting. We find that under the best assumptions availableabout voter behavior, the most likely outcomes are that Peltola would stillhave won the election under Approval Voting, while Begich would have won underSTAR Voting.
