Actually, WA and CA have a “blanket primary,” which is a bit different than LA’s “jungle primary.” In the blanket primary, everyone runs on the same ballot regardless of party, and the top teo finishers on primary day (which could be a candidate with 99% and a write-in with less than 1%) meet in the general election a few months later. In LA’s “jungle primary,” the “primary” is on the general-election day, with the top finisher bei g elected if he got 50%+1, and with a run-off a coue of weeks later between the top two finishers if no one got over 50%.

There are differences in the LA brand and those in CA and WA but the same general principle.
