JS nts 5 rse <TUTOR- ring utorMe) What is a consequence of a majority voting rule such as the one used in Texas primaries? The runner-up candidate can get another chance in a runoff election if the top candidate fails to receive a majority of the votes. Voters may split their vote since each district has multiple legislative seats. The candidate who has the most votes (even if it is below 50 percent) wins the election. The majority voting rule typically causes more candidates to file for office. The majority voting rule gives an advantage to minority candidates.
