Voter suppression = RoboCalls

And the accusations go on.....

Steven Shrybman says he doesn't have anyone among the eight voters he represents who didn't cast a ballot in the last election.

But, he says, between court documents describing a number of Elections Canada investigations, an affidavit from a call centre staffer who says she made misleading phone calls and polling data showing widespread suppression, it's all consistent with his clients' assertion that misleading calls influenced the outcome of the election in their ridings.

Shrybman said the applicants are not alleging the Conservative Party, Conservative officials or Responsive Marketing Group, a company that made campaign calls on behalf of the party, had anything to do with carrying out the fraud.

But Shrybman on Tuesday walked the court through documents he says support the applicants' allegation that there was a campaign to suppress votes and that it benefited the Conservative Party.
The most recent — and possibly most important — documents are two production orders seeking phone records for Shaw and Videotron customers. They show that Elections Canada is looking into complaints in 56 ridings. The documents were released at the end of last month.
