Din,
The incumbent is a Democrat (Kay Hagan). The 40% figure to avoid a runoff applies to the Republican primary where there are a number of challengers. We want to make sure the GOPe horse in the race is kept below 40% so he can be defeated in the Republican run-off to select Hagan’s challenger.
In South Carolina, Little Lindsey Graham must be kept below 50% in the Republican primary to avoid a run-off. Hopefully he won’t make it.
“...Little Lindsey Graham must be kept below 50% in the Republican primary to FORCE a run-off....”
Error corrected in caps.
Thanks for the info. Glad Graham has to have 50% to avoid a run-off. He’s not going to make it.
