I can point him to resources on range voting, but I don't know where the wv v.
margins debate is encapsulated.

For this I had to go back to http://electionmethods.org/ to refresh my 
memory (basic topic is how to resolve cycles in Condorcet - cases where no 
single candidate wins against every other candidate based on raw counts).

 From there to tutorials:  http://electionmethods.org/CondorcetEx.htm

Via links to: this & that???

OUCH - all I got is my memory, which says margins are called bad, and I do 
not remember reading what range is.

Can you help?
