[Avodah] What Happened to following the Rov

[Meir Rabi]

Rashi explains DivRey RiVos BishO'Recha, Devarim 17:8, matters subject to
dispute as a dispute between the Sages some saying permitted and others
prohibited etc. Since the matter is unresolved it is taken to Ym for
resolution at the Sanhedrin. Why is it not resolved through the regular
system of voting and following the majority?

This is how the Siforno explains the Passuk and this seems to be far closer
to the Poshet Peshat.
