Every state.

Or my idea, instant runoff ballot.

Democrat voters would have a lot of trouble with it on their side.

I’m a bit hesitant regarding instant runoffs. I think runoff candidates should have time to make their case. An instant runoff in TX for Cruz’s Senate seat could’ve given DewCrist a win (with 3rd place RINO finisher Tom Leppert’s supporters going to him). The runoff race gave Cruz time to consolidate support he may not have been able to get in the first round (as it was, DewCrist got 45%, Cruz just 34%, Leppert with a key 13%). Leppert endorsed DewCrist in the runoff.
