In ranked-choice voting, a candidate needs more than 50 percent of the vote to be declared the winner outright. If the front-runner doesn’t have that percentage of the vote, the candidate with the fewest votes that round drops off the ballot, and those who ranked that candidate first will have their votes go to their second choice. The process continues until a candidate has more than 50 percent of the vote.
The state’s special House race election will be the only race with ranked-choice voting on Tuesday, but it will provide a preview of how other candidates running in races such as the state’s Senate election will do in November.

Despite this, an important MAGA candidate won his republican primary. He's not Trump endorsed because it is such a small election, he didn't have the war chest to get to the endorsement. However, given the finances he WOULD have been.
He was also only 47 votes behind the incumbent scum demoncrat, and blew away the leech traitor republican trying to split the vote. We are winning folks.
