Nebraska should adopt Top 2 for all of its elections.
It might permit post-primary nominations by petition. In that case, a much higher standard is reasonable. Perhaps, a candidate would need to get as many signatures as the second-place candidate, with a 10% minimum of the total vote.
NO primaries. Would have the campaign ravings for only about 2 months before THE [general] election day —
ie mere 22 of 24 months in cycle for other distractions.
