Vawls going to lose via a succession of increasingly unfortunate 10 second runoffs

FRANCE UPDATE: The near-final list of candidates who are in the French runoffs is out.

Two days ago, 311 districts were going to have 3-way or 4-way runoffs.

Then, 200+ candidates dropped out to block far-right.

So: There'll be "just" 91 such runoffs this coming Sunday.

Trump: “Not possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost the L.A. runoffs”

States that have primary runoffs: Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina.

You get one guess why.

Left leaders say that, in ‘Macronist vs far-right runoffs,’ they’d call for a vote for the Macronists.

Macronist leaders keep saying that, in “left vs far-right runoffs,” they’ll say both are equivalent.

Now Macron’s party is using that to say only Macronists can win runoffs:

Dumbass. They won in runoffs following the 2020 election, and Warnock won again in a runoff in 2021.

It's election day in Texas!

→ Cornyn vs. Paxton.
→ Both parties choose AG nominees
→ Many House runoffs (e.g. Al Green vs. Menefee, Julie Johnson vs Colin Allred, Briscoe Coe vs. Alex Mealer)
→ Bexar County DA & Harris County judge runoffs
(And more!)

BIG TAKEAWAY: Far-right (RN) ahead, but can it win enough runoffs to win next week?

In most places there'll be *3-way runoffs* instead of 2-way runoffs. If no one drops out, it'll greatly help RN.

Macronists often 3rd, so all eyes on them right now. Will they drop out when so?

one thing that drove me *wild* during the Georgia runoffs in 2020 was the "wow how inspiring!!!" framing of people waiting in 8 hour lines to vote.

THIS IS NOT A VICTORY OF DEMOCRACY! IT'S AN ABJECT FAILURE!
Every time I see a story where the line to vote goes around four blocks, I feel a twinge of hatred for all the people who are forcing this to happen.

The only time you take to vote should be looking up ballot measures and policies.

On January 6, 2021, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won Georgia’s Senate runoffs, giving Democrats control of the U.S. Senate.

Solomon's allies are also crushing it in the city council runoffs.

This is the first of the 14 elections on my guide where we've now added the result. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

That power existed for good reason. Trump is the problem. All we have to do is get rid of the Electoral College and require runoffs until a majority is achieved. That would have eliminated Trump.

Do they do runoffs

Something from in May I didn't know until today:

Dems won enough seats outright in Oregon's primaries to already be certain to flip control of Deschutes County (=Bend.)

Now, in November, Dems have a strong shot to secure every commission seat if they win two runoffs.

The potential for runoffs is profound! 22 races could go to a runoff in June. With crowded fields for governor, senate, and more, statewide runoffs for both parties are likely. But runoffs are expensive and lead to low voter turnout.

Not having runoffs when you don’t have ranked choice voting is wild to me.
