The split votes for the GOP candidates will likely coalesce to Fuller for a GOP win, but who knows? And in any case, that a Democrat would get the plurality of votes in this district against a whole field of Republicans is insane.
Another advantage that isn't as obvious - even if Harris ends up losing, by forcing this runoff he's keeping one more R vote out of Congress for another month or so.
Would’ve been less expensive with ranked choice voting. But The political establishment keeps doing the same backwards thing expecting this time it will work for sure…
