The latest issue (March 2004) of Scientific American has a well-written
article on page 92 called "The Fairest Vote of All". It discusses
plurality, IRV, Borda ("rank-order voting") and Condorcet ("true majority
rule"); the specific system they recommend in the end is Copeland//Borda.
Check it out.
Hmm, there's only a partial intro the article available online:

Given that Borda usually gets a bad rap here, would someone whose read the article care to comment why the authors recommend Copeland/Borda?
