13. It may be because irregularities experienced by someone...
...who voted for the declared winner of a election contest, (especially one that is very close,) has no real incentive to report ANOMALIES, IRREGULARITIES and GLITCHES. They might be overjoyed that there guy won and the last thing on their mind is to file a complaint. Complaints take time, so why would they ? NOTE: 87% of all complaints came on the day following the election, when the results were known.

Please note that I am not a psychologist, but don't pooh-pooh this idea without input from one. There is much human behavior that does not make sense to us, but it exists anyway - for example, the Stockholm syndrome.

It's just a thought.
