Even if everything is working perfectly correctly, it is inevitable that some minority will win sometimes in a democracy. Even with universal mandatory voting and in an election system that satisfies the Condorcet criterion. There are probably some pretty shocking "minority wins" that happen all the time, especially in smaller local elections that use FPTP. We just can't ever possibly know about them at the same level of confidence as we can the election results themselves. I mean elections are really just a messy byproduct of living in the real world anyway. If we really, actually knew with enough certainty that 51% of eligible voters would vote candidate A over candidate B then we really should just save ourselves the effort and put candidate A in office. I mean why not? While we're at it, let's just skip all the popularity nonsense and Do What's Best For Everyone.
