sigh....this is actually a serious problem for us when there are a number of like minded voters such as yourself in any one constituency. Shrug...fortunately, such irresponsible louts as myself do not exist in sufficient numbers to create serious problems for the benevolent society of Liberals. That is why in a well run political organization like the Liberal Party of Canada, we do our best to ensure that the Returning Officer for as many electoral districts as possible is an elite member of the Liberal Party who will do his or her best to ensure that each poll is entirely staffed by card carrying Liberal Party of Canada members. That is of course mandated by our just and democratic process. The federal returning officer is appointed by the party in power, and the riding returning officer is appointed by the party who won the riding. The poll clerks are selected by the riding returning officer. All very fair, and the selection only coincidentally tends to support the reigning party. Thankfully, other parties fail to provide sufficient numbers of scrutineers to cover all polls, especially in closely contested ridings. That's the beauty of having so many polls in a riding. Never mind that there are 10 polls in one school or office building - make sure there are 10 separate counts going on at once. That will spread the forces of opposition past the breaking point. Is that an "X" or a "+"? It makes a difference. Uh-oh. Looks like that poor voter drew two non-intersecting perpendicular lines. Seems he fell just short of falling into the trap ov voting for that lout. I can assure you that a 3rd consecutive majority Liberal government is a certainty. Agreed. The future of Canada is assured for another five years - or three if the heir apparent gets an itchy trigger finger and starts dropping premature writs all over the place. Ask yourself, are you working as a district returning officer or poll clerk or volunteering as a scrutineer come November 27th? Yes indeedy. [grin] Regards, WillP
