It is.

It's harder to rig if the players won't play. That's why I'm calling for the second-place GOP candidate to withdraw and endorse the winner.

If the rules are consistently applied, there won't be a new fifth-place contender promoted to fourth place. The second-place GOP will still hold the position, but then withdraw after the ballot is certified, making it a three-candidate race with one GOP choice, one Democrat choice, and one spoiler instead of two.
