That could be that one vote is chosen by lot after the ballots are in
This is the case that doesn’t sound like an a-priori dictator to me, because you don’t know who the dictator will be, and thus can’t do anything to manipulate the outcome by dint of there being a dictator.
Under Arrow’s terms, this still counts as a dictator, as long as the other ballots have no effect. (Not “no net effect”, but no effect at all.)
In other words: if I voted for myself, and everyone else voted for Kanye, and my ballot happened to get chosen, then I would win, despite being 1 vote against 100 million.
It may not be the traditional definition of dictatorship, but it sure ain’t democracy.
