Most of those mean less than nothing.
"I had a complaint that someone phoned and was rude so it can't be our volunteers" is not even remotely evidence of vote tampering. It is infinitely more likely that someone on their campaign was in fact rude to someone. It happens.
Also "2 or 3 people were directed to the wrong polling station" could be a mistake by anyone, including one of their own volunteers. Good lord, people sometimes make mistakes, even Liberals or NDP'ers.
How about "people were told I spend 6 months a year in Africa but really I only spend one week there". Um, so people lie - is that your basis for complaint? If so, how about "we'll abolish, scrap, kill the GST"?
Most of these seem to be the opposition's attempt to drag every single complaint about a phone call they didn't like and attach it to "robo-gate" in an effort to make it seem like a widespread conspiracy to steal the election.
Back to my original point I think - if there was a specific issue with calling opponents supporters with false information around polling booths, this needs to be investigated and the hammer brought down on those responsible. That doesn't mean, however, that everyone that got an annoying phone call (their perception of annoying) was being subverted by some grand Machiavellian plan to steal the 2011 election.
