A closed primary system does not do that.
A closed primary can do that if you design it that way. You make it so there is a run off between the top two candidates if no candidate gets a majority.

Only our current system actually ensures that the winner of the election actually gets 50+1…..unless this proposed closed primary bill retains the top two runoff structure (which would be three elections for each office)
Wrong Georgia’s does too.

So now we’re voting three times?
Where’s the benefit in that over a jungle primary system? A runoff in a closed system will still result in a D and an R.

I meant within the options for our state. Georgia and I think maybe Washington? also have a jungle primary-ish setup and 50% rule. California does too I believe.
