"Most" is an exaggeration.  I don't have figures, but this page:

http://www.opednews.com/HIll1103CA_recall_message.htm

for example, says that "several southern states and many cities hold
two-round runoffs ", implying that most other states don't.

I've never seen a runoff in New York or New Jersey, though I can't swear we
don't have them.
