In Need Of Reform - Elections Canada

Given the seemingly endless reports of problems and incompetence, Elections Canada needs a major overhaul. Here's just a few of the problems that came to light during this trip to the polls:

- reports of widespread issuance of voter information cards to non-citizens. This wouldn't be a problem except for numerous reports of locations where the cards was used in place of proper identification.

- reports of registration of dead people or people who hadn't lived at the "residence" for many years.

- reports of people registering at commercial locations in order to vote in a riding other than where they live (or possibly voting in multiple locations).

- reports of issuing real ballots prior to the election for use in schools without proper safeguards to ensure the ballots were destroyed.

- people being directed to distant (wrong) polling stations
