The Plurality with Elimination method can violate the Condorcet Criterion because it may not always select the candidate who would win every head-to-head matchup. It can violate the Monotonicity Criterion because increasing the rank of the winning candidate in some voters' preferences could cause that candidate to lose. It can also violate the Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives Criterion because the introduction or removal of a non-winning candidate can change the outcome of the election.
