[Avodah] standard opinion

[Eli Turkel]

<<But of greater importance is defining under what circumstances must you
follow the majority even in halacha. It seems from the Get Poshut and
many others that this is only when the parties are meeting face to face
and take a vote.>>

To add to Daniel's demonstration that we don't follow the majority even for
halachic decisions is the Maharatz Chajes (kol kitvei) Mishpat Horaah
374-394 see also drashot haRan and RE Wasserman
kovetz shiurim 87-116

Maharatz Chajes states that the opinion of the Sanhedrin is binding only if
a formal vote was taken after considering all opinions
