I see this brought up, but I always wonder if that's more of a feature than a bug? Coming up with a systematic way of encouraging meeting with people that think and prioritize differently than yourself? Put that way it seems like a win. Alternatively, yes, a voting system is a means for expressing individual preferences, but it only exists in the context of groups of people trying to resolve coordination problems. The "defect" you've described shows that it strongly favors groups of people that can coordinate, avoiding the double-defect outcome in prisoner's dilemmas. Sounds like it /should/ be rewarded to some degree.
