When I was a scrutineer, those instances were extremely few and far between, and nothing I saw was remotely close to questionable. They were very obviously intentionally spoiled ballots.
So...who knows. Could they make these claims? I guess they can claim anything. But the ballots are there for everyone to see, and any legitimate campaign is going to have scrutineers in place.

The mistake is assuming that:
1) The candidates/parties/groups who make these claims actually believe what they're saying (they don't).
2) The rubes who believe these claims are thinking rationally (they aren't).
People who think the World Economic Forum is going to lock them into a concentration camp aren't swayed by evidence or logical arguments. If their side wins, it was fair; if they lose, it was rigged. It's as simple as that.
