Projection

A sociological phenomenon where members one group of people accuse members of another group of feeling or acting in a manner that they themselves are engaging in, often to divert attention from their own behavior . It is particularly common among groups living with high levels of fear or resentment.
When party leaders accused their opponents of voter fraud, it was all just projection; because in reality they were working to rig the election behind the scenes.
