The fix to this is a statute requiring a candidate to get over 50% of the vote to win an election. They have a runoff if the 50% threshhold is not met.
However, and unfortunately, Jeb Bradley has the potential to become another Charlie Bass...and isn't that a shame.
If at least not 50%, even 40% would do...
"However, and unfortunately, Jeb Bradley has the potential to become another Charlie Bass...and isn't that a shame."
Bass may be too much to hope for, I'm more worried his votes will be more like Bass's ex-con(g) opponent's husband, Peni$ Swett, were and *gasp !* a potential "Senator" Jeanne Shaheen would be. Perish the thought... As I said before, Bob Smith needs to put the kibosh on any potential rallies of his supporters to Shaheen the Sharlatan (sic) so he can position himself to make a comeback for that House seat against Bradley in an '04 primary. Well, that's assuming we don't have a Congresswoman Clark to deal with...
