Fundamental mathematical flaws and paradoxes occur in voting when there are 3 or more candidates. The video covers a few methods of voting (such as plurality, Borda count, instant run-off and sequential pairwise) and their inherent flaws and how different methods produce different winners (with the same voter preferences). Also covered is the voting paradox of Condorcet and the topic of gerrymandering.
