For presidential and statewide elections, the Top 4 would advance to the runoff election. For regional elections(federal and state elections), the Top 3 would advance to the runoff election. For local/municipal elections, the Top 2 would advance to the runoff elections.

I like to think that someday fundamentalists will recognize the scientific relationship between the greenhouse effect and global warming and that secularists will appreciate the spiritual reasons for not using abortion as birth control. Thus, the effects of reducing carbon emissions and of increasing contraceptive practices would enhance the quality of life on Earth and help ensure our survival as a species.

Can't be divisive... Joined God's Party... "Love and unity are the needs of the body politic today. Without these there can be no progress or prosperity attained." "Science cannot cure the illness of the body politic. Science cannot create amity and fellowship in human hearts." ~ Abdul-Baha, Baha'i Faith
