Anyone ever hear of Cumulative Voting w/ elimination?  Seems like it
would solve the problem of a faction losing representation because it
diluted its vote among too many candidates.  Proportionality wouldn't be
as accurate as STV, of course, but better than Cumulative Voting alone.

Using the Peoria form of Cumulative Voting (if that's the correct name),
it could be done on regular "X" voting equipment.  Might be suitable for
city council-type elections, or small 2- and 3 seat districts.
