Speaking from my own American perspective, with both progressive and conservative friends, the answer to your question about whether it is a common perspective, is "yes". For the last several elections, whichever side loses thinks the election was stolen.

Weird. The only Democrats or liberals I've heard complain that an election was stolen were talking about the Bush vs Gore, where the Supreme Court decided that it could make the call.
Maybe you're talking about Gerrymandering, which is a very real method of undermining democracy, but I've never heard anyone refer to it as election theft.

Mostly the 2016 talk revolved around the idea that the electoral college was illegitimate, and Hillary Clinton's majority of the popular vote should have been what determined the presidency.
