THERE is a common saying among candidates during elections that goes, “If we lose, we were cheated.” Time and again, this is heard during the final stages of the election campaign season, especially at the beginning of the rousing canvass procedure. All candidates start with a very high regard for the electoral process, thus their timely filing, their energized announcement and their proper campaign behavior. But upon reaching the end of the cycle, we suddenly hear and learn that cheating had been done against them, favoring the likely winning candidate.
