I am not trying to pick a fight or debate the actions, I am really just not sure what options the party had.

At the point this came out (after nomination deadline) it was likely too late to change the ballots. However if they choose not to run the DRO's at each of the polling stations would have a duty to convey that on E-day. Likewise if they had stepped away from running as Wildrose and ran as an independent; Elections Alberta would have to advise the electorate. Perhaps in the form of notices.
