Approval Voting vs Instant Runoff Voting

[DEMOREP1 at aol.com]

Every voter wants his or her sincere rankings of 

Desired > Compromise > Unacceptable.

With a divided majority having different desired results, somebody has to 
lose.

Simple Approval falsely says that all choices voted for are equally desired 
(e.g. Desired A = Desired B = Desired C, etc.).

Simple IRV falsely says that the choice with the lowest number of first 
choice votes cannot be a Compromise choice (noting my 34 Hitler- 33 Stalin - 
32 Washington example wherein Washington loses using IRV but is a Condorcet 
Winner).

Sorry IRV fanatics, but in voting there is something called a head to head 
table (which is like saying there are other conic sections (ellipse, 
hyperbola, etc.) in addition to simple circles in geometry).

Once again - use of rankings in p.r. elections will lead shortly to the use 
of rankings for executive and judicial offices (hopefully along with YES/NO 
votes on each choice for use as tiebreakers).
