Here's the thing: I know, but cannot prove, some local elections I've been involved with have had oddities to them.
|
One inner-city Winnipeg riding, one rural Manitoba riding. The connecting oddity? Higher than one should expect turnout in one poll out of the thirty to forty making up the riding.
When you have 130% turnout on an Indian Reserve, that's an issue even if you can say, "Well sure, its a transient population sometimes and hard to properly enumerate in advance," which one certainly can.
When you find not one, not two, but three instances where somebody was going through the mailboxes in the inner-city and collecting just the voter cards issued by Elections Canada (and suitable for ID up until the 2015 election) it makes me go, "That's funny."
I can appreciate the goal of getting everybody who wants to vote the right to cast that ballot. I'm all in favour.
But long-term, I want it proven who is voting. Beit photo ID, finger print, bar code tattoo or implant scan. Whatever the going marker is of the day.
