Lots of congressional primaries won with less than 50% of the vote

 Fair Vote - A new FairVote analysis finds that so far, 55 candidates have won 2022 congressional and statewide primaries with less than 50% of the vote, including 19 candidates who won with less than one-third of the vote. Under our current voting system, a candidate can win an election with far less than 50% of the vote, meaning a majority of voters voted for someone other than the winner. Ranked choice voting would ensure candidates win with a majority and represent more voters’ choices.
