Did you know that some of the most contentious candidates in the House only won their primary with a minority of voter support? Josh Brecheen (OK-2) placed second in his GOP Primary with less than 14% of the vote. He did win the top-two runoff — but with this much vote-splitting, we can't say for sure that the top-two candidates in that race were the most broadly supported amongst voters. Switching to pick-all-you-like voting would ensure that the most broadly supported candidate always wins, every time.
