Question

If candidate receive majority of 1st place votes they should be the winner: Borda Count can violate

An election resulted in Candidate A winning, with Candidate B coming in a close
second, and candidate C being a distant third. If B had received a majority of first
place votes, which is the primary fairness criterion violated in this election?

Answer 1

Answer:

B should have been the winner. Since B received the majority of the votes, he should be the winner, not A, and it doesnt matter how close was the election or how cmany votes A got in reality. If B had more votes for 1st place, then it should be the winner, not A. I am assuming that there were electoral fraud and someone intentionally didnt count valid votes from B.
