However, I doubt that primaries (or something fulfilling the same function)
would really be eliminated. I largely blame the failure of LNHarm for this:
Candidates from the same faction have incentive to persuade their own
supporters to truncate, and other voters in the same faction to vote in a
friendly way towards this candidate. If one candidate seems more popular
than other candidates from the same faction, I think these efforts will
be very successful.
