[usregimechange]

If he get under 50% they have a re-do?

[FVZA_Colonel]

1. Apparently.

But keep in mind they have the President-Elect and the Vice President-Elect to campaign for Martin.

2. The top 2 candidates, w/o 3rd parties, have a re-vote

Not entirely sure who that benefits

[garybeck]

5. it benefits

the person who came in second the first time

it gives them a second chance

3. In Ga., if a candidate doesn't get 50% +1, they have a runoff election

to determine the winner. A runoff is usually triggered by a third (or sometimes more) candidate being in the race, so the two top winners are forced into a runoff vote to determine the final winner.

4. The idea is to insure against vote splitting.
