In United States politics, a sore-loser law is a law which states that the loser in a primary election can't then run as an independent in the general election. These laws do not apply to presidential candidates <1>. Many states accomplish the same requirement by having simultaneous registration dates for the primary and the general election; in fact only the states of Connecticut, Iowa, New York and Vermont don't have either a sore-loser law or simultaneous registration deadlines..

Welcome to DU, by the way.

16. As Bon Jovi might say, whoa, we're halfway there.

Sestak up by 5% with 51% reported.

P.S. Jon Bon Jovi saw his first rock concert while visiting his grandparents in PA. Rush, Heart, and the Doobie Brothers were on the bill!
