Andy Is Running Where

Our Liberal Candidate for Edmonton Strathcona, Andy Hladyshevsky is apparently also listed as residing in Edmonton Centre. The real ha ha is his explaination as to why he was too busy to do anything to correct this.

City voters list mix-up fixed, official says

Elections Canada probing registration irregularities in Edmonton Centre

Among the professionals erroneously included in the revised Edmonton Centre voters list is Edmonton Strathcona Liberal candidate Andy Hladyshevsky.

The address for Hladyshevsky and his wife, Daria, is given as Manulife Place, the building where his law firm, Fraser Milner Casgrain, is located. The couple lives on Strathearn Drive.

The mistake happened because federal income tax records are used for voter registration, and like many lawyers Hladyshevsky's personal and business tax correspondence is sent to his office, he said.

Although he knew about the error, he couldn't find the time in the midst of campaigning to get it corrected, Hladyshevsky said. "I will have to go and do that. This is a subject that has caused a lot of discussion around the (kitchen) table for the last couple of weeks."

As a long-time Strathcona resident, he has always voted in his home riding, he said.

The Blogging Tories have made a proverbial mountain out of a mole hill over this.Update: Edmonton-Centre Voter Fraud

    Just a silly thought... what about all those who have already voted in the advanced polls that may have been erroniously been on that list prior to Thursdays 'new and improved list'?

    Well the votes in the advanced polls can be checked against the new voters list, which is what will happen. The voters lists will be compared by the DRO.

    So there are hundreds more....interesting that Elections Canada doesn't see this as problematic. Or do you think they might be on the Liberal payroll too.

    I think youse guys are trying to create an issue any issue around Anne's campaign to drive more votes to Hawn (tell me I am wrong) and of course out of being peeked at Gordon Stamp being outed by progressive bloggers. A little tit for tat eh wot.

    "Well the votes in the advanced polls can be checked against the new voters list, which is what will happen. The voters lists will be compared by the DRO."

    And how may I ask can they differientiate those ballots in the box from other legitimate ballots? After all there is nothing on the ballot itself to identify who placed it. This is a bigger problem than you suggest.
