How does an open primary stop a third party “libertarian” from bleeding off Republican votes in a general election?
*************
The LA Primary is really a ‘jungle primary’ in which all candidates no matter which
party, independents, others, etc all are listed on the ballot. The winner must
get 50% +1 vote to win. If that doesn’t occur then the runoff is between the top
two voter getters regardless of which party they are in.
The primary occurs on Nov. 4, with a runoff if needed occurring on Dec. 6.
Thanks.
