MMPO has been criticized for its counter-intuitive behavior on some elections.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2016-September/000523.html|title=Re: MMPO objections (hopefully better posted)|website=Election-methods mailing list archives|date=2016-09-21|last=Benham|first=C.}}</ref> Given this election (called the "bad-example" on EM):
* x: A>B=C
* 1: A=C>B
* 1: B=C>A
* x: B>A=C
MMPO elects C even if x is made arbitrarily large (say, 3.95 billion voters). This is a [[Plurality criterion|Plurality]] failure.
