In Ontario provincial and municipal elections our ballot goes into a machine (that looks a lot like a shredder) and is electronically counted. Has been done for years. Never heard of issues. I don't think it is connected to the internet.
I have always maitained that polling outside an election cycle is meaningless and inaccurate. One can argue how accurate it is during an election cycle. I do really hope you are correct but we will see with the only poll that matters.
Do you think if the Liberals lose they will scream election...
The old rule is high voter turnout usually goes against the guy currently in power.
We were in an out in out station without delay. The only hiccup was when they gave me 2 ballots.
Quebecers want to be able to cry in their beer when the Canadiens lose and not be distracted by petty politics. If it started at 8 it would end about the same time as the hockey game.
