+is an election method in which voters rank
+candidates in order of preference. The Borda count determines the winner
+of an election by giving each candidate a certain number of points
+corresponding to the position in which he or she is ranked by each
+voter. Once all votes have been counted the candidate with the most
+points is the winner.</p>

+<h4>About Instant Runoff Voting</h4>
+
+<p><%= link_to "Instant runoff voting",
+"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_Runoff_Voting" %> is an electoral
+system in which voters rank candidates in order of preference. In an IRV
+election, if no candidate receives an overall majority of first
+preferences the candidates with fewest votes are eliminated one by one,
+and their votes transferred according to their second and third
+preferences (and so on), until one candidate achieves a majority.</p>
+
+<p>Instant-runoff voting (IRV) is also known as the Alternative Vote (AV) and
+by several other names.</p>
