52 All would agree that a transposing error, which was corrected and did not impact any candidate's vote does not constitute fraud. Accordingly, we hold that the Hearing Officer did not err, and 1st and 2nd Appellants' request for a rerun of the October 10, 2017 elections is hereby denied. WHEREFORE AND IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING, Appellants' appeal is hereby denied. The Hearing Officer's final ruling in these proceedings is hereby confirmed and affirmed. AND IT IS HEREBY SO ORDERED. GIVEN UNDER OUR HANDS AND SEAL OF THE NATIONAL ELECTIONS COMMISSION THIS 24TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, A. D. 2017.” We note, from the ruling quoted above, that although the Commission handed down a single ruling in respect of the both appellant parties, the two parties, first and second complainants/appellants determined to file separate bill of exceptions in respect of the said ruling. We note also that although in regard to the first complainants who had filed the complaint before the NEC and who had presented evidence before the CDHO, from whose decision an appeal was taken to the Board of Commissioners, who had participated in the appeal before the Board, and who had announced an appeal from the adverse final ruling of the Board, only the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the Liberty Party, in persons of Charles Walker Brumskine and Harrison S. Karnwea, filed a bill of exceptions before the NEC and complied with the recognizance appeal requirement from that body, taking issue with the NEC and seeking to vest jurisdiction in the Supreme Court to hear the appeal taken from the ruling of the Board of Commissioners of the NEC. Again, as we have done with other instruments filed in the hearing process, so that a full and accurate picture is presented of the contentions of the parties, we herewith quote in its entirety the bill of exceptions of Charles Walker Brumskine and Harrison S. Karnwea, filed with and approved by the Board of Commissioners of the NEC, as follows: APPELLANTS' BILL OF EXCEPTION Charles Walker Brumskine and Harrison S. Karnwea, Presidential and Vice-Presidential Candidates at the October 10, 2017 Elections, 1st Appellants in the above entitled cause of Action, most respectfully inform you, the Board of Commissioners, National Elections Commission, that on the 24th of November, 2017, you rendered your Final Ruling, denying the Appellants' appeal from the Final Ruling of the Hearing Officer, and confirmed and affirmed the Final Ruling of the Hearing Officer. 1st Appellants excepted to your Final Ruling, and announced appeal to the Honorable Supreme Court of the Republic of Liberia, and therefore, the 1st Appellants hereby submit this Bill of Exceptions for your approval as follows to wit:
