I am shocked that some people are so petty and authoritarian they feel the need to control the publication of election results.

In actuality, it is impossible for anyone from NFLD and the Maritimes to have access to the exact same information that I have. It won't be because they are lazy or didn't take the time to find out, rather, it is impossible for them to base their decision on the exact same information that I can. That is why the results shouldn't be published beforehand.<br /><br />I am shocked that people are so selfish that they can't wait till the whole election is over to see the results.

I suspect that thousands of Canadians will tweet early results without even knowing who or what Elections Canada even is. The officials will likely only be able to deal with those who had a deliberate intention of violating the act and publicy say so.<br /><br /> Part of my beef is that we all know that the party workers and hacks will be getting this information and relay it to others working on campaigns in the west.<br /><br /> One way to perhaps stop this whole thing (if it is really an issue at all; It certainly isn't to most people) would be to only start counting all the votes at a specific time even if they sit uncounted for a couple of hours in the east.<br /><br /><br /> Yup.

That kind of collective action (the only way collectivism should be used - in the defence of freedom) is how Section 329 is made irrelevant. That irrelevance might occur on May 2nd.Allen Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13663655836753638994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-14481793628540289582011-04-23T09:49:48.954-04:002011-04-23T09:49:48.954-04:00Pretty sure, I put Paul's last name in the pos...Pretty sure, I put Paul's last name in the posting.Gerry Nichollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496716615185797501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-56628908751790794412011-04-23T09:35:46.657-04:002011-04-23T09:35:46.657-04:00Please take this as a subjective observation: Lac...Please take this as a subjective observation: Lack of a last name for Paul and a reference to any reference articles seriously hurts the credibility of this article.

This law is just ridiculous. Either change the vote opening and closing times so that they're synchronized across the country or just scrap the law. It would take me 30 seconds to setup up an anonymous blog on a US server and post results from a wifi hotspot. Good luck tracking me down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
