    a. The way votes are tallied can significantly alter the outcome

    Explanation:

    According to Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, there are three possibilities:

    1. in case each voter prefers alternative X over alternative Y, it means the group prefers X over Y;

    2. in case each voter's preference between X and Y remains unchanged, it means the group's preference between X and Y will also remain unchanged;

    3. in case no single voter has got the power to always fix the group's preference, it means there is no dictator.

    In making decision, election is not a perfect means since the way votes are calculated there is a room for discrepancy.
