No, it's a better system than just giving it to whoever gets the most votes in the first round

although, ranked choice voting would be ideal

I see nothing particularly wrong with mandating that a winner has to get over 50% of the vote.

Truth be told, Im more a fan of jungle primary systems that toss everyone into one pool and then the two top vote-getters go head-to-head in the general.

Georgias runoff system began in 1963 when state representative Denmark Grooveran avid segregationistproposed adding a second round of voting to ensure that at least half of all constituents backed a candidate.

Groovers proposal came a few years after he lost his previous election bid in 1958, which he blamed on Negro bloc voting, or that theoretically, if Black voters put up a united front and voted consistently, it would further their political interests. Groover thought that a runoff would decrease the likelihood of an African-American being elected because it would rally white voters around a white candidate.

Agreed. Elections should be decided by a simple, mathematical result.
