So it seems like the PQ are hoping to increase their chances of winning by:
A. Hoping that some election officers (who are PQ supporters perhaps?) will make it difficult for student non-francophones to vote (assuming that the non-francophone vote will support other parties than the PQ?).
B. Raise the hue and cry that non-Quebecers are trying to hi-jack the election.
By hoping for A they decrease support for other parties than the PQ (hopefully). By doing B they increase the PQ vote (hopefully).
Nothing like a little fear mongering to swing some more votes your way.
