Um, no, it's also an election for the six month term until the seat is filled on election day.

The "Primary" was back in April.

Um, no, there are 2 separate elections.

The April election was an Open Primary for the few months remaining in Cunningham's term.

The June election is a traditional Primary for the full congressional term, and a runoff of the April election.

I would like one historical example where a democrat or republican received 43% of the total primary vote running unnopposed and then picked up enough votes to win a general. Are there any examples?
