      There's no reason why Republicans, who had the votes on Election Day to win these runoffs, should lose - no reason but Trump's behavior since then.https://twitter.com/susancrabtree/status/1346118955321102336 …

      Republicans, even Trump himself, argue that distrust in the election system will suppress the GOP vote, though there's no real proof behind their fears. The GA Senate runoffs will provide the 1st high-stakes test. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/01/04/ga_runoffs_to_test_theory_that_trump_stance_harms_gop__144956.html …

      Also, as I've said for years, we should do away with runoffs & jungle primaries. They're bad regardless of which party they help.

          I Think we need to de-institutionalize parties, given how toxic and out of touch they are now.

          We should have one single top two primary, and have them face off in the general. Done and dusted.

          We should perhaps eliminate primaries altogether, and just let parties nominate who they want, but runoffs are what keep people with less than majority support from getting elected just because there are multiple candidates on the other side.

          Do away with State government run primaries and implement ranked choice voting for general elections.

          Absolutely. An element of randomness gets injected into the race. Perdue would have won in November in almost every state. He would even have won in a ranked choice vote.
