Possible election fraud may be brewing in Canadian elections
Canada Free Press reports on how official election ballots turned up in a school classroom in Ontario:
Like many Canadians, Canada Free Press hoped that Prime Minister Paul Martin didn’t know something they didn’t when he insisted so adamantly yesterday that he was certain to win Monday’s federal Election.Well, if they were being used illegally, then,
It’s a given that politicians of all stripes out on the campaign trail routinely show bravado and make such boasts, even when polls indicate their party is trailing behind their closest opponents.
There is no doubt that Martin is saying the opposite of even liberal-leaning news outlets like the Toronto Star and CBC and that some political pundits claim that these outlets could be trying to get Liberals out on Election Night by repeating that the Conservative Party is ahead in the polls.
On the same day, a CFP letter to the editor arrived from the father of a high school student. "My son came home for lunch a few minutes ago and told me that his class had a mock vote this morning–using official Elections Canada ballots.
"The school, Thomlea Secondary now has hundreds of randomly marked official ballots.
"I wonder what will become of them," the parent wrote CFP.
...we can only hope that the official Elections Canada ballots used at mock votes in Ontario classrooms will find their way to the school’s shredder and that this is just 11th hour election jitters.Yep.
That said, this could also serve as a good reminder to be on the lookout for any possible election fraud in even the Israeli elections, and in the American elections in April as well. Be on the lookout at all times, everywhere and anywhere, because anything is possible today.
See also this blog entry from Angels Tread at CFP as well. Captain's Quarters, which has also been covering the Canadian elections, also discusses more, as does the Blogging Party of Canada.
Update: it looks like, happily enough, the Canadian Conservatives are winning now. Michelle Malkin (via MacStansbury.Org) reports that things are looking up for the Conservatives now, even in Quebec. Bravo also to Ed Morrissey, who almost single handedly helped expose the badness the Liberals had sunken into.

Well, might as well let the "school ballots" count - they're most likely as educated as the rest of us are!
