Not true in my own personal observation. Where I live, the dems had two candidates, republicans had four, undeclared had 2, and third party each had 1 (Green party and I can't remember).

Vote scoring took 5 or 6 rounds to declare a winner - it came down to 1 of the dems (incumbent) vs. most notable republican on ballot (former mayor). Dem won by 34 votes in a town of around 70,000 registered voters. Republican candidate was leading each round until the last when one of the third party candidates got eliminated.
