Technically, it’s not a primary. It’s a free-for-all special election that requires 50%+1 vote to win, which no one is likely to do. Thus this will be followed by a special election runoff, with the top two finishers of today’s race competing. That election is June 20th.

Looks like it is basically a “jungle” primary. They have those in California now and you end up with two Dims on the ballot. Dumb idea, IMO.
