The legislation is clear. They don’t have to look at the ballot. That’s why there is an outer envelope. The NEED to enter the voter into the voting book. BEFORE the close of voting day or the ballot is not counted. Those ballots are supposed to be kept separate. How about those? How many are they?

To preserve our democratic this should be cleared up.

I thought there was one other category of ballots they needed to count and add besides the mail-in votes?

The “out of home riding” votes.

We need an explanation how it went from 49,000 to 6x,xxx.

I’m just using that for short hand. Bottom line is all valid ballots need to be recorded in the voting book by the final voting day. This makes sure no double voting occurs. Any ballots received after are also entered and stored but as invalid ballots.

So what needs to happen is the question VW posed above needs to be answered in detail. Not trust us or else.
Even if it’s explaining that they followed that process but they made a PR mistake by (insert reasonable explanation here). And that next time they will wait another hour to get the actual number before issuing a statement.

^ For any given riding there must be 100+ versions of the voting book. You can go to any table within any polling station and there is a separate book. The question is how they then go and cross reference every line in every book. 

 

I am sure that is why the plan was to have computers access a centralized list. Why did that not happen?

My station had a laptop. It is supposed to be hooked up to a server by law. The point of the book is to prevent multiple votes. It is one person one vote. So if their voting books can't do that before the final voting day then that is the problem. Investigation done! but that explanation needs to come from them.

^ If they have a laptop connected to a central "voting book" then why are they manually crossing out names in a physical book? How does the physical book prevent multiple votes if someone just goes to a different table, a different polling station or mails in their vote?

The media could ask the Voting Equipment Officer (VEO)

There should be an audit. It was a new system this year. It makes sense to do an audit of how it went.

My polling station had a book. There was nothing electronic going on, aside from the voting machine.

What happen is in stark contrast to what was promised....

 

"Thanks to the electronic tabulators, which are installed on top of the ballot boxes, 98 percent of all ballots will be counted on election night.

The technology is also expected to help voters with disabilities such loss of vision. Elections BC says that an Accessible Voting System will be available in every electoral district office. Voters will have the choice of listening to an audio recording of the candidate list and cast their vote using a hand-held selector device, sip-and-puff straws or paddles. Voters using this system will be able to mark their ballot independently and know that their choice will be counted accurately."

Rob Shaw says the NDP is asking Conservative MLAs if they’d consider being speaker. Two weeks ago, David Eby said Conservatives are just the worst, but they’re not bad enough to hold the honourable position of speaker of the house?

Ok, Mr. Parmar we get it. Obviously a bad choice for candidate.

But before too many stones are thrown, the NDP has anti-semitism to concern itself with, doesn’t it? Selina Robertson didn’t walk away from the party without a reason.

Another candidate would have had a higher chance of winning but the Cons were stuck with their choice from way back, I think (this was not her first election).

He won’t fire her even though she’s a bigot! (Fires her for her bigotry)
He originally hired her knowing she was bigoted and kept her on think he could win the race despite her being bigoted so he is still a bad man because he is only firing her now because she didn’t win!


Clowns to the left of me….

Amy Hamm: Right-thinking British Columbians must rise up against wokeness

 

 

There is no longer any excuse to feel shamed into silence over our opinions

 

 

 

 

https://vancouversun..._source=twitter

 

 

What exactly is “wokeness”? Its adherents dismiss the term as a childish, thoughtless gibe. It isn’t. Wokeness is a flavour of far-left social justice activism that hyper-focuses on identities — male, female, Black, white, straight, gay, transgender, whatever — and assigns a person’s moral worth according to each. You can be oppressed or an oppressor. A victim or a villain. Under the terms and conditions of this pseudo-philosophy, the oppressed class can do no wrong. And only a wicked and sinful oppressor would dare to challenge its crazed statutes.

 

Well, sinners: it’s time to get wicked. Woke has got to go.

 

Among Eby’s notably nefarious ordinances of wokeness: he supported disgraceful “harm reduction” policies until it was politically inconvenient to do so; he seems pained by the act of denouncing Canada’s antisemitism problem without a line about “all forms of hate” (without which he would be in violation of the woke narrative, which posits that Israel, and Israel alone, is a colonial aggressor); he promotes the notion that the province is infected by “systemic racism,” a beloved woke term with no clear, contemporaneous meaning.

His party passed “anti-racism” legislation and justified it by referring to their own government as a “colonial institution”; he has accused detractors of being hateful for pointing out the fact that transwomen are not, in fact, biological women; and he’s wholly incapable of balancing a budget, which is a byproduct of his fealty to wokeness — so much so that even the former leader of the B.C. Greens, a climate scientist, slammed Eby for his “radical ideological-driven activism.”

 

It is a stunning — and mortifying — feat to out-woke the Greens. Well done, Eby.

 

________________

 

 

Also under Eby’s watch, parents like me will need to remain vigilant to ensure that teachers do not propagandize our children into believing that they possess “white guilt” for historical wrongs they had nothing to do with, or that they benefit from a “white male privilege” that, paradoxically, seems only to confer them with the scorn and disgust of others. With Eby in power, public schools will serve as youth indoctrination centres.

Shoot. My son’s “science” class is more like social science…. Studying the science of propaganda. I asked him how did his teacher know the co2 levels of the entire planet 6,000,000 years ago….. ummm carbon dating?
I also made him a bet that his testicles were not full of microplastics. He would have to do his own exam though….

But… I don’t identify as “right thinking.” So I also see that this language as problematic. It should be pulled out of the political basket entirely so that the left thinking people can also wake up to the insanity.

For instance, did you know it’s controversial now to ban sex changes for children? That’s right wing thinking! https://x.com/ctvedm...QrcObpkhVXe97Jg
