Suppose winning coalitions and losing coalitions contain each player the same total number of times:
No real-weight, weak-quota weighted voting game represents those outcomes. Summing weights over the winning family gives at least , while summing over the losing family gives strictly less than . Equal player multiplicities make the two sums identical, a contradiction. This certificate works without assuming nonnegative weights.
For example, the winners and losers form a two-against-two obstruction. A monotone game whose minimal winning coalitions are the first two sets realizes this certificate, even though every winner contains player .
