Again, it's important that every eligible citizen gets the chance to vote and is in no way impeded in their ability, especially by a political party. Basic fundamentals of western democracy.
It doesn't matter if you personally think that a particular voter is an idiot, a "liberal" or "too dumb" to distinguish a "legitimate sounding call from Elections Canada in a completely plausible situation". (Again, not sure how many times this needs to be reiterated in this thread, but this wasn't Peggy from Capital One customer service calling voters on election day.)
I personally don't think that the entire election should be overturned (and I don't think that is even legally possible), but any riding where election fraud and attempts to specifically deter any citizen to vote are found to have occurred should hold by-elections again.
