The Hogwarts Potions Club recently held elections for President, Vice-President, Secretary,

and Treasurer. All of the students, teachers, ghosts and paintings votes were stored in a text file. You have been tasked with writing a program that reads from that file and figures out who the winners of each election were.

The file is formatted with one persons (or former persons) ballot on each line. Each line of the file contains four integers (each separated by a space).

For each election, there are only two candidates. The first number represents a vote for a candidate in the Presidential Election, the second number represents a vote for a candidate in the Vice-Presidential Election, the third number is for the Secretary Election, and the fourth integer is a vote for the Treasurer Election.

The first number on each line will either be a 1 or a 2, the second number on that line a 3 or a 4, the third a 5 or a 6, the fourth a 7 or a 8. Each number encountered represents one vote for the corresponding candidate. The key, for tallying votes is as follows:

Presidential Race

1 Cedric Diggory

2 Harry Potter

Vice-Presidential Race

3 Hermione Granger

4 Vincent Crabbe

Secretary Race

5 Luna Lovegood

6 Susan Bones

Treasurer Race

7 Draco Malfoy

8 Neville Longbottom

Your program needs to tally the votes for each candidate, then print out each election, along with each candidates name, the total votes they received, and the percentage of the total votes received. The winner should be printed first (with the word WINNER on that line), followed by the loser of the race on the next line.
