The word challenge allows to account for that action in which an individual or group fights, contradicts or refutes with any argument or any other valid resource, something that is considered to be wrong, or in its absence illegal, and that of course, due to those conditions of erroneous or illicit harm.
Rebuttal of an erroneous argument or an illegal question based on evidence
It is a concept that is applied in various contexts and that always refers to the rejection of an assertion, the annulment of the arguments that, for example, someone exposes, through the use of counter arguments that obtain certainty or truth.
For example, theories and laws will persist until they are successfully challenged.
Whenever you want to challenge, refute something, in any context, it will be necessary to present valid evidence or arguments in this regard and leave no doubt that it is correct to annul a decision or overthrow an idea held by an opponent, among others.
Law: action that is interposed in judicial process
For example, at the behest of Right, It is recurrent to find this concept, since it is an action that can be imposed in a judicial process. "The defense challenged the ruling of the chamber that exempts his client from prison.”
This means that the attorneys, or defense attorney for the accused, filed an appeal through which the decision reached by the court that it understood regarding the release of the defendant and which of course did not grant, is contested.
Politics: invalid vote, rejection of an electoral result, political debate in which an opponent's proposal is refuted
Also in the policy field, the term contest turns out to be very frequent, since it is popularly known as challenge, challenge vote or null vote, to that wrong vote made by a voter in an election and that therefore will imply the nullity once the vote count is carried out.
It should be noted that the contested vote can become such accidentally or intentionally, while among the situations that can determine the nullity of the vote, the following stand out: include in the envelope an unofficial ballot or that does not correspond; place several ballots of candidates for the same position, preventing it from being determined which candidate was voted for; place only the fragment of a ballot; introduction of foreign objects; write or cross out the ballot, among others.
Unlike what happens in the majority of laws with a blank vote, which can imply favor of one of the political options presented, the challenged vote, directly, cancel the vote in question, does not count, does not add.
Historically, the contested vote is associated with a form of protest that political groups or citizens have used regarding the presentation of some candidates, or to directly express their disagreement with all the proposals presented to a specific election.
Continuing in the context of politics, the concept is widely used also at the behest of elections to designate the action that one political party can develop against another because it considers that it has incurred fraud in the elections in which they competed.
This situation is very common and sometimes also very complex to check.
The parties that do not win in the elections and that have been close to doing so, because they were left with nothing more than a few points, usually contest the triumph of their competitor, and this implies filing a complaint before the competent justice to review the electoral act in all its edges.
On the other hand, at the behest of pre-electoral political debates, it is also a constant practice to challenge the opponent's arguments, in order to disrupt their position and make their own triumph, a fact that is aimed at obtaining the vote of the electorate.
Every time someone intends to challenge the argument of another, in any context they must rescue those sayings of the opponent that are false or with which they do not agree and explain why they are not true or not appropriate, and finally promote their own arguments that contradict those exposed by the person who is challenged in order to strengthen the belief in what we say.
