I will add to your list of references an excellent book, "Basic Geometry of Voting" by D. Saari [1]. It covers all major alternative voting systems in an accessible mathematical framework that clearly highlights their tradeoffs (necessitated by Arrow's theorem) in simple diagrams.

I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in multi-participant decision systems, or anyone looking for a fun mathematical excursion. Sadly, the paperback (which I bought in graduate school for $25) is no longer in print and the price has jumped quite a bit.
