Abstract: We study the conjecture that $su{m}_{nleqx}chi(n)=o(x)$ for any primitive Dirichlet character $chipmodq$ with $xgeq{q}^{e}psilon$, which is known to be true if the Riemann Hypothesis holds for $L(s,chi)$. We show that it holds under the weaker assumption that `$100\mathrm{\%}$' of the zeros of $L(s,chi)$ up to height $frac14$ lie on the critical line; and establish various other consequences of having large character sums.
