Those of you standing in long lines for municipal elections in Alberta today: 1) stay in line; your voice matters 2) the long lines are a direct consequence of the conspiracy-driven policy changes brought forward by the UCP government (and not your beleaguered election workers); be kind

At one point Smith made a big deal about paper ballots, but vote tabulators do use paper ballots. Does anyone know if the UCP ever gave a sensible explanation for the changes?

Her base heard stories about US elections voting machines malfunctioning and "stealing" votes for democrats, and so were suspicious of our voting tabulators. The paranoia and conspiracy of a few led to these changes.

Paranoia, conspiracy, and demonstrable stupidity (since voting machines and voting tabulators are entirely different things).
