You first select the person you want to be President out of ALL of the candidates. You then submit that ballot. You are then given a second ballot that only lists the two top candidates that will most likely win the election based on projection and you HAVE to vote for one of them for the sake of counting ALL popular votes in regards to who everyone would rather have as President. That's the only way I can see a popular vote being meaningful.
Why don't you think ranked/alternative/instant runoff would make a popular vote meaningful?
