Richard Shelby. running for a sixth term, needs at least 50% of the vote Tuesday to avoid a runoff against four Republican challengers. This has the potential to sway the election in favor of the other party. In some states, that’s close to directly proportional to voter results, whereas others have a “winner-take-most” allocation structure or minimum vote thresholds for scoring delegates.
