%X Hace falta expandir el concepto de "autenticidad" m¨¢s all¨¢ de la mera representaci¨®n fiel de la "voluntad de los votantes" para incluir tambi¨¦n tanto la calidad de la misma competencia electoral como la naturaleza de la etapa poselectoral de calificaci¨®n de la validez de los comicios. Algo "aut¨¦ntico" es algo "genuino", no "ap¨®crifo" o "fraudulento". As¨ª que una elecci¨®n aut¨¦ntica, entonces, ser¨ªa un proceso de competencia pol¨ªtica donde hubiera una verdadera diferenciaci¨®n entre las ofertas de los candidatos, equidad y legalidad en la competencia entre estas ofertas, as¨ª como una verdadera incertidumbre con respecto a qui¨¦n ganar¨ªa el d¨ªa de los comicios. We need to expand the concept of "authenticity" beyond the mere faithful representation of the "will of the voters" to include both the quality of the electoral competition and the nature of the post-election phase of qualifying for the validity of the elections. Something "real" is something "genuine" and not "apocryphal" or "fraudulent." So a genuine election choice, then, would be a process of political competition where there is a real difference between the offers of the candidates, fairness and legality in the rivalry between these offers, as well as a bona fide uncertainty about who would win the elections on election day.
