    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.
