This attempted change was meant to hurt Liz Cheney in a primary.
The republicans were trying to get Liz Cheney out of the 2022 election by requiring the winning candidate to receive more than 50% of the vote. If the candidate doesn't get that over 50% they wanted to have a runoff.
This ploy was used in the south to keep black people off the ballot. Now the republicans tried to get it to use on one of their own.
They failed.
Barely.
