It's going to make elections VERY messy and a lot less representative IMHO

If it's the top two that move on why would you vote for another candidate than your own?

Conceivably you could have two Democrats winning and running against each other with no Republican representation in the general election. A Republican that tries to sabotage the Democrats by voting for an unelectable Democrat will only hurt his candidate's chances of moving on.

Or am I missing something?
