Approval Voting vs Instant Runoff Voting

[DEMOREP1 at aol.com]

Once again-- there will be polls (pending a constitutional amendment to 
prohibit them).

If a candidate has the highest majority/ plurality in the polls, then his/her 
voters would be rather stupid to make additional choices if Approval is being 
used.

Approval is an interim remedy pending number voting combined with YES/NO 
(especially if majority approval is required for single winner offices).

It is because Approval does not use number votes is why it is defective.

Where a candidate has de facto no chance of being elected, Approval would 
show a much larger protest vote-- as for Nader, Browne, Buchanan, etc. in 
2000.
