My choices for the GOP nomination for Senate and House of Representatives lost yesterday, but I take consolation in the knowledge that the Democrats are still going to lose those seats in November.
Arkansas election law requires a candidate to get 50 percent or more of the votes cast to be declared the winner, so yesterday’s primaries merely narrowed the Republican and Democrat fields for Senator to the top two in each party with a runoff election in three weeks.
I suppose there is an odd democratic logic to the process, but it still seems silly to someone raised in Indiana where the candidate with the most votes wins the nomination.
