Boggles the mind.  Is this really such an obscure field that a real publication
isn't aware of anything better than Copeland//Borda?  Anyone advocating that
here would be immediately and painlessly redirected.

Has no one considered the notion of "defeat strength"?  Maybe the winning votes 
vs. margins debate is taboo at Scientific American.

I would have at least liked some discussion of Approval, or polytopes.
