9. Right. An instant run off between the Dem and Repub would happen

Anyone who voted for the two front runners as first choice, their votes are still locked in for the runoff. Last place guy is kicked out of the race. The people that voted for him as their first choice will then have their second choice votes applied to figure out which of the front runners is truly more popular. That is how it works. It is basically an instant runoff is no one gets 50% of the votes.
