Conservative Party offers new details about what went wrong with ballots

In short, it was a combination of factors: smaller envelopes than the party has used in the past, the record number of mail-in ballots, and the inability to add extra hands to speed things up due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The party believes that the slicing through of not only the envelope, but the ballot within it, happened because of the size of the envelope used. Inside each standard white envelope was a smaller “secrecy” envelope that contained the ballot. “All ballots were able to be counted and processed in the end, and while we regret we weren’t able to get the results out as timely as we wanted, we’re pleased the process itself was completely fair, and overseen every step of the way by scrutineers from every campaign, and representatives of Deloitte,” Hann said.

Party officials have yet to offer a precise figure on just how many ballots were damaged, but Hann said the preliminary determination is that the slowdown occurred after the party was 97 per cent through the ballots, with the delay being on getting through the remaining 5,000 or so ballots. Now, the party plans to “take stock” of the event in general, and this will include examining the envelope issue.

Maybe they should have started earlier instead of waiting to build hype!

They should have cut the end of the envelopes instead of the side !

The Green Party of Canada CanadianGreens will have a mail in leadership ballot in September and ElectionsCan_E is considering a mail in ballot for the next federal election. It'll be interesting to see how they manage ballot counting EvanLSolomon CTVNationalNews

Who cares? MSM still whining they had to put in extra time to cover a leadership race they could care less about.

Rigged!!!!

From the article. 'otherwise damaging them enough to require a fresh ballot to be re-marked with the identical data in order for it to be scanned and tabulated' Riiiight!

Almost as incompetent as the Trudeau “Liberals” Nowhere near as corrupt though at this point

It was a bad idea to allow Andrew Scheer to approve this as the envelope opener:

remember folks, they were the ones who set us up for the government payroll fiasco. Nothing they do works without a lot of expensive fixes.
