Taft says a number of scrutineers reported that as many as half the voters who showed up to polling stations on March 3 weren’t on the voters list despite their having lived in the same riding for decades, with hundreds of voters leaving the polling stations without casting a vote. He alleges there were a number of other violations on election day, including the posting of Conservative candidate signs outside polling stations. As well, says Taft, thousands of voters did not receive voting cards from Elections Alberta and were sent to the wrong polling stations.
“Many scrutineers have called it the worst run election they ever witnessed,” says Taft."
