IT behooves us to ask if in the entire history of our Republic, and in the many cases of successful election protests, there was ever one person sent to jail or penalized for committing election fraud. It would be interesting to know if there had been cases of politicians who were proven to have benefited from cheating, and were eventually unseated and taken to court and consequently convicted. It is important to ask if the Comelec, the three electoral tribunals, and the local courts have made recommendations to file criminal charges against these unseated candidates.
