What's the point of moving your local elections to Presidential years if the outcome is frequently going to be decided in a low turnout December runoff? They should either adopt some sort of RCV, (assuming that's not banned in Texas), or use a Preliminary election to narrow the field. (We have preliminaries in Massachusetts.)

Clearly the answer is preliminary (any votes after November are ridiculous; including Georgia and Louisiana)
