Add six more to the list

NDP MP Joe Comartin says his campaign reported four to six calls about polling station changes to the returning officer in Windsor-Tecumseh. And yesterday’s Postmedia report adds an interesting note in that regard.

There were also several complaints from New Democrats in Windsor-Tecumseh, Ont., including a call to the home of MP Joe Comartin, directing them that their polling station had moved. New Democrat volunteer Andrew McAvoy received a live call directing him to an address where there was no polling station.

Those calls came from the same number listed as the Poutine phone.

Windsor-Tecumseh isn’t referenced on Elections Canada’s list of ridings where polling station changes occurred.

Meanwhile, there are now reports of calls purporting to convey polling station changes in Mount Royal, Lac-Saint-Louis, Edmonton CentreKingston and the Islands and Hamilton East-Stoney Creek.
