Answer 1

do what

Answer 2

I don't know a lot about voting methods but I found an Internet site that discusses such methods. In a cursory overview of the site, I saw one method mentioned as being a violation of the majority criterion. (Borda Count)

You may want to read more about these methods. There may be others that violate the majority criterion.

"As the plurality method, Borda count also violates the Condorcet principle--- it even violates the weaker majority criterion: Assume 16 voters have preferences A, B, C, 8 voters have preferences B, C, A, and 7 voters have preferences C, B, A. B wins the Borda count with a score of 70, although the majority did vote for A."
