Elections Canada Complaints

Take a VERY long time to resolve.

In 2003-4 EC had a lot of complaints. It might not have been 31,000, but it was a lot.

I would say that at least half of them had to do with enumerators and/or polling information at the FRONT END of the campaign.

I would say that half of the rest of them had to do with things that any sane person would describe as "insignificant."

I would say that half of the rest of the rest had to do with RUDE staff.

I really hope that they catch the assholes who willfully tried to disenfranchise people. I hope they go to jail.

I also wish people would stop throwing out numbers like they are significant on their own. 31,000 complaints are...well...just not that many in a country that has 25 million electors (or so - I am guessing.)
