    It’s a system where the two highest in the primary to the general, regardless of party. Sounds good on paper but it’s still possible for the vote on one side to be split, similar to the spoiler effect, resulting in two of the weaker party winning when there are nearly dozens of candidates of the stronger parties sharing the votes.
