This sounds awful.

Elections Calgary said it is opening additional polling stations across the city for a total of 42 during advance voting between Oct. 6-11. There will be 261 stations on election night, a 40 per cent increase over the 2021 election.

Look, if the cost of nodding at election fraud conspiracy theorists is a costlier election with less reliable/timely reporting, that's a price Danielle Smith is willing to pay.


As a side benefit, if the results aren't to her liking, the delays will allow her to start casting doubts on the results too. So it's win-win-win.... as long as you are Danielle Smith.

To be fair some of the increase is due to growth of the city. But that doesn't' change the fact that this was a moronic move by the Province that serves zero purpose other than to add to the cost of the elections. Which is born by the municipalities. Which then gives the Province another 'reason' to take power away from them under the guise of not being able to manage their own finances responsibly.
