I know I've seen some California elections have a 51% primary. I believe the Los Angeles Mayoral race was one. I wasn't sure if that applied to these jungle primaries or not since it's very doubtful anyone will get 51%.

Either jungle or runoff system, with FPTP in place, seems to leave a bad taste in people's mouth when they see the top two in the same party. I think it's getting a lot more bad attention because the likely minority party has a good chance of getting the top two spots.
