As the goddess leads Ajax on with her questions, the deluded hero reveals his belief that he has killed the Atreidae for their failure to honour him properly declaring; 'Let them deprive me of my arms, now that they are dead' (100).
Although the audience cannot guess all the details surrounding the vote, this is of little significance because the implication is clear: the Atreidae, as leaders of the army, are responsible for the vote - its fairness or otherwise.

 Ajax E-book by Sophocles
Then plunging amid the thronging horns he slew, Smiting on all sides; and one while he fancied The Atreidae were the captives he was slaughtering, Now 'twas some other chief on whom he fell.
Some he beheaded, the wrenched-back throats of some He slit, or cleft their chines; others he bound And tortured, as though men they were, not beasts.
Leaving the circle of consulting chiefs Where sat the Atreidae, Calchas went aside, And with kind purpose grasping Teucer's hand Enjoined him that by every artifice He should restrain Ajax within his tents This whole day, and not leave him to himself, If he wished ever to behold him alive.

The Greek chiefs, with the two Atreidae at their head, were the judges; and they awarded the prize to Odysseus.
Then he fell on, and dealt death among the horny throng, as he hewed them to the earth around him; and now he deemed that the two Atreidae were the prisoners whom he slew with his hand, now ’twas this chief, now ’twas that, at each new onset.
Some he beheaded; of some, he cut the back-bent throat, or cleft the chine; others, in their bonds, he tormented as though they were men, with300 onslaughts on the cattle.

 Odysseus: The Fascinating Man and His Many Transformations
The Atreidae sent for him and he begins his speech to Achilles by complimenting him and assuring him that he is needed "to rescue the afflicted sons of the Achaians from the Trojan onslaught."
The Atreidae see him as a friend in much the same light and make use of his capacities as an ambassador for them, and as someone to hold the army together.
Menelaus may be the King of Sparta, but he had no right to direct the affairs of the dead man. Of course, this is a flawed argument because the Atreidae did direct everything for ten years and it was also attempts on their lives that caused Ajax to kill himself.

Leaving the royal circle of the chiefs [tyrannos] who sat in council, [750] Calchas separated himself from the Atreidae and put his right hand with all kindness into the hand of Teucer.

 Philoctetes E-book by Sophocles
Soon as they saw that, with long toil oppressed, Sleep had o'ertaken me on the hollow rock, There did they leave me when from Chrysa's shore They bent their fatal course; a little food And these few rags were all they would bestow.
I've told thee all, and him who hates the Atreidae I hold a friend to me and to the gods.

His cries of pain made it impossible to perform the religious rites, which required the absence of all ill-omened sounds; and a noisome odour from the wound rendered the sufferer’s presence a distress to his ship-mates.
Son of Oetean sire, I, at least, shall be on my guard henceforth against Ilium and the Atreidae, nor look on them save from afar; and where the worse man is stronger than the good,—where honesty fails and the dastard bears sway,—among such men will I never make my friends.
And if, my prince, thou hatest510 the hateful Atreidae, then, turning their misdeed to this man’s gain, I would waft him in thy good swift ship to the home for which he yearns, that so thou flee the just wrath of Heaven.
