A ranked choice ballot is a voting method, and instant runoff voting is a counting method.  The best counting method for ranked choice voting is Copeland or round-robin voting. Every vote is counted and no candidates are eliminated.

Even so, instant runoff voting is more familiar, it is used in Australia, and it would definitely encourage more compromise and less partisanship than what we have now.

No, one vote one person as we are doing now. Only US citizens allowed to vote. (non-felons) Anything else is being pushed to help someone fulfill an agenda. Maybe try to sell this scam to someone else as I see it for what it is.

 It's still one person one vote, it's just every vote can express a first preference, second preference, etc. 

If you really think it should be one person, one mark per ballot per race, that is first past the post, and nothing will change. 

The only voting system besides first past the post that only lets voters make one mark per ballot is the Israeli voting system. Where you just vote for a party instead of a candidate. That barely works in tiny Israel. It would be worse here.

Also, you're getting distracted. Felons aren't the ones choosing candidates who only do theatrics and never compromise. Non citizens are a separate problem.
