Indeed, it is very exciting to see so much interest in running for office with record numbers of people filing in South Carolina - across ALL political parties!
However, there is a downside to this: With these record number of candidates, this also means a large number of races with multiple members of the same party competing. Which means many primary races as well.

A primary has low turnout to begin with (usually half or less that of the general election).

And then in many cases, where there are more than two candidates running for the same party nomination, there will need to be a runoff which has an even lower turnout.

So again we're back to a very small minority of voters selecting the candidates to run in the general election. Not to mention the amount of money required to spin back up all those election precincts, all those poll workers, all those machines. We are so far past time for ranked choice voting (at least in primaries) it's not even funny.

Ranked Choice Voting

It is absurd that in California, the most solidly Democratic state in the union, the "jungle primary" might literally exclude all the Democratic candidates from the general election.

Every state should have closed primaries and ranked choice voting, so all the parties---including minor parties---have a fair chance to nominate the candidate that represents them.
