I heard an interview with a Conservative staffer yesterday who tried to clear up some confusion. The calls in the Guelph riding were fraudulent and are being investigated.For the other ridings that are surfacing now a lot of them were legitimate calls from the conservative party to supporters to inform them that the polls truly had changed. Apparently Elections Canada changed about 200 voting station locations after the voter cards had gone out. As part of the Conservative get out the vote campaign they alerted their identified supporters of the change in location. Some of the articles are combining these two activities to make it seem like they are part of a large conspiracy when in fact one was a legitimate action taken by the Conservative party and the other was illegitimate and an investigation is trying to determine who is responsible.
