In Michigan, you don’t need a majority to win a primary. A plurality is enough. This applies to the U.S. Senate race and other partisan contests. The candidate with the most votes takes the nomination, even if that total is less than half of all ballots cast. The rule comes from Michigan Election Law, Act 116 of 1954, Section 168.559. That statute sets up a plurality system without runoffs.
