Weird primary in GA 6!!!! Who else does it this way? [View all]

I just learned that in the primary on April 18 ALL candidates from both parties run on the SAME ballot, so you could end up with 2 Republicans in the runoff. Do any other states do it this way????

This is the election where Jon Ossoff is running. Bush won the district by 67 to 31 (or something like that). But Trump only 48 to 47. An really, really good chance to flip a red district, and the primary is more important than I had realized.

Again, how common is this way of doing things?

In case you're inspired to donate...
