I didn't say that a by-election should be held because there are allegations. I said that I think a by-election should be held if election fraud was found to have occurred. (see below from my previous posts)

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.

I know personally, if Party X in my riding was intentionally misleading Party Y and Party Z's voters in the manner that has been brought up (posing as Elections Canada in a misleading way) and I had voted for Party X in that election, I would want to have an opportunity to recast my vote. And I think many people would share the same sentiments.
