No runoffs in Arizona.

So, if candidate A has 35% of the vote and candidate B has 35.0000001% of the vote, candidate B wins the election?

Id be interested to see how the important primary in Wisconsin would have went with 1 on 1.

Also Gary Kiehne has more money than other candidates and is pounding Andy McTobin on his big spending.

Grothman the best candidate won with 36 or 37%. Priebus, Scott Walker, Paul Ryan and Sean Duffy are weak on immigration. Sensenbrenner might sell out on that issue one day.

Yup. Just needs 1 more vote that their opponent. This kind of primary election where someone ends up with a plurality win must end. If they don’t have over 50%, they’re not the choice of a majority of primary voters. That simply is unrepresentative democracy.

Makes more sense than A winning.
