“...A candidate in Mississippi this year needs to get 50% to avoid a runoff.”
********************************************************************
And an interesting thing is that, for any federal office runoffs, Mississippi will be using “ranked choice ballots” for overseas and out-of-state military voters to use. See details in the linked article. Our military voters need to clearly understand that they will get those “runoff” ballots at the same time they get their primary ballot and need to complete that and return it along with their primary ballot.
Interesting about the ‘ranked choice ballots’. That approach may become used more over time.
Do you know the ballot placing for the Senate race in MS? I’ve looked but don’t fine a
sample ballot that is being used. That info should be available as ballots are
already printed and the candidate draw was sometime back.
