BC Conservatives  make shocking allegations of  'voter suppression' in 2024  election
BC Conservatives made damning allegations Thursday that could spell trouble for the incumbent New Democrats, if proven  true.
Non-Canadian citizens voting and  potential voters  who were told they  couldn't vote — because their  ballot had already  been cast — are just  a few examples of alleged voting irregularities in  the recent British  Columbia election.  These discrepancies  could have  changed the  outcome of the election, with  the New Democrats holding a one-seat majority as of  this writing.
The BC Conservative Party called for an independent review of the election and  the BC Elections  Commission on Thursday. "I  will seek an independent review  to provide an opportunity for the public to  raise their concerns," said John Rustad, the  party's leader. In November, Elections  BC issued a statement acknowledging discrepancies in  more than 60 of the  province's 93 ridings.  The revelation comes after an internal audit forced the agency to  make corrections in 69  electoral districts.
A review of the  vote found 45 irregularities,  including 21 votes  allegedly cast from Argyll Lodge, a  nursing home across from a polling station in Surrey-Guilford.  Incumbent NDP  MPP Garry Begg won by 22 votes,  after a judicial  recount.
Honveer Singh Randhawa, a  trained lawyer, says he has  received statements from residents  who say they were  forced to vote by mail. Rebel News asked the party leader if  the home-based vote, among other concerns, would be addressed.  "These are all things  that I hope [will be] part of the independent  review," he  said.
Among those concerns  are "stories of non-Canadian citizens  voting in this  election," Rustad said, acknowledging that "that's something we  can't verify because no  one is coming  forward."
However, the Surrey-Guildford  result wasn't the only  horse under scrutiny.
Particularly troubling, Elections BC found 861 votes cast in the riding  of Prince George  Mackenzie, a Conservative stronghold.
Rustad's findings, if accurate, could  cast doubt on the Surrey-Guildford  result and jeopardize the legitimacy of the incumbent  NDP government. These allegations  may also  reinforce the need for an independent review of their oversight during the election.
