CMV: National Ranked Choice Voting should replace the Electoral College & within congressional races

As my post implies ranked choice voting should be implemented in the United States in place of the electoral college, as well as for congressional races.
It promotes third-parties, as people are more likely to vote for someone, when they know their vote isn't wasted, and ensures they don't end up promoting the "greater of two evils". It gives independents a voice, and gets rid of the electoral college, that gives people of certain states more power than others, while *actually* ensuring that the candidate with *majority* support gets elected. I
In the Senate and the House, it will lead to third parties gaining support and some seats, ultimately leading to multi-party coalitions while ensuring local representation.

At this point, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where it gets complicated Not convinced this is settled yet. Others will probably see it differently.
