Professor Ray LaRaja, along with Ph.D alums Mia Costa and Zach Albert write about the republican primary for an open U.S. Senate seat in Ohio won by Trump-endorsed candidate J.D. Vance, who earned less than a third of the votes in a crowded field. Their analysis finds that ranked-choice voting alone wouldn’t have significantly changed the result, but nonpartisan first round election, allowing the top four vote-getters to advance to the general election, might have made a difference.
