In some states, however, the election system is more similar to that of European countries - first multiple candidates run together and if no one gets 50%, the first two proceed to the run-off. Georgia is one of these states; there are also Louisiana, California and possibly some others (not sure).

The term of art for this arrangement seems to be "nonpartisan blanket primary", but "jungle primary" is the term you'll see used most often by the media.
