It’s not right that they wouldn’t recount all of the ballots. That undermines my faith in the recount process. I’m assuming that they only recounted ballots in boxes where the Statement of the Vote form had errors, or if there was a protest lodged by one of the Candidates’ Representatives at the time of the initial counting.
RT has harsh words for the BC federal Liberal team.

Any idea how the other ‘recounts’ are being run? Count every ballot or a ’sampling’?

Liberals want more women elected to the House of Commons!!!!
As long as these women know their place and they are not trying to unseat them.

Some sources tell me that only 28 out of 184 ballot boxes were counted. The room was so small and stuffy that not everyone was able to fit inside. Some people even had to wait outside doing nothing. After Ujjal’s margin of victory dropped from 33 votes to 22 votes, the judge suddenly decided that it was time to call it quits when only 15% ballot boxes were counted.

The LINK has also learned that there were many irregularities in voting in the riding with one particular poll – which had the maximum of 500 votes to be cast, but allegedly had a final count of more than 900 votes with more than 800 allegedly credited to the Liberal candidate.

No, it’s a surprise to me that they wouldn’t have to reconfirm every total if a recount is ordered. I mean, it doesn’t make sense to call it a “recount” if everything isn’t recounted. Otherwise it’s just a statistical sampling of how accurate the count was, with minor corrections if required.

Well said. And sorry I called you a “Liberal”

I agree Saskboy. Totally non-partisan issue here.
