Every weighted positional method except for [[First Past the Post electoral system|First past the post]] fails the [[later-no-harm criterion]]<ref name="Votedesc"/> and the [[majority criterion]]. Since [[First Past the Post electoral system|First past the post]] fails the [[Condorcet criterion]], and Condorcet implies majority, every weighted positional method fails Condorcet.
