What? No one is forcing anyone to mark more than one candidate on their ballots. You're showing a fundamental lack of understanding of what ranked voting systems are.
If your first choice loses and is marked out, then you have the opportunity to mark a second candidate that you would like your vote to go towards instead. It encourages people to vote for who they think is the best candidate without the fear of, "throwing away their vote on someone who won't win anyways."
She would get a percentage of every vote for the other candidates.
sounds like unconstitutional disenfranchisement

This is wrong.
Technically, thats not what he said:
She wont get any percentage of votes of those who did not vote for her as second or third choice.
