The group of voters, also backed by the Council of Canadians, who lost their demand of getting results of 2011 elections annulled in six ridings in the Federal Court have now decided not to pursue the case in Supreme Court, though they still demanding a public inquiry into voter suppression.
A social justice organization, the Council of Canadians, supported the case launched by a group of voters alleging to have results annulled in six ridings due to confusing robocalls that deliberately directed people to the wrong polling stations. One of the voters from North Bay, Ont., Peggy Walsh Craig, mentioned at a news conference on Friday morning in Ottawa that “I feel that we have taken this case as far as it can go.” The voters asserted that there was forcefully harassment and mislead through phone calls in the last federal election, which they alleged to be a part of a co-ordinated campaign to misguide the supporters for parties other than the Conservative Party.
A Federal Court Judge, Richard Mosley, announced the decision of the case last week, asserting that he did not find enough evidence to annul the election results, though he concluded that fraud did actually take place during the election. Six ridings where the election result was challenged included Nipissing-Timiskaming in Ontario, Elmwood-Transcona and Winnipeg South Centre in Manitoba, Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar, Vancouver Island North and Yukon. Judge Mosley stated that he did not find that the Conservative Party, its candidates or the suppliers were actively involved or responsible for the automated robocalls in “the campaign to mislead voters.”
