      Yes, although without a runoff, the GOP would have held a primary before the Warnock race.https://twitter.com/RobGeorge/status/1346637811290664960 …

      I am in error. PERDUE would have been re-elected without runoff. Warnock would have won multi-candidate race, edging out Loeffler and Collins. https://twitter.com/RobGeorge/status/1346635488485060614 …

      Runoffs and jungle primaries have been bad for years. The voters of Florida were wise to reject one this year. Georgia, Louisiana, & California should ditch them.

          I don't get this at all. A system like this in the primaries would have saved the GOP from Trump to begin with. Seems like these are more likely to represent the actual will of voters. And selfishly, special elections tend to favor Republicans.

          California likes them because they make it far less likely that the already unlikely prospect of a Republican getting elected happens.

          What about an instant runoff? That will reduce the ability of third parties to "steal" (for lack of a better word) votes from a similar candidate.

          Why do they even do this? It seems obviously a bad idea, for either party, really. Except perhaps under single party rule, like in California?

          Jungle primaries would be more tolerable to me with ranked choice voting. First across the wire jungle primaries are useless.
