Yeah but doesn't the Borda Count Method mean if there are eighteen Presidential candidates on the ballot, that I have to rank them 1-18? The page you linked says "first place votes," "second place votes".. Whereas our elections are just "I want this guy to win."

Seems to me that the Borda Count method could lead to someone not very popular being elected just because nobody knows a lot about them. Or maybe I'm not understanding the math.
