OTTAWA, Aug 17 (Reuters) – Mail-in voting in Canada is set to soar ahead of the Sept. 20 election amid fears of COVID-19, and the complex registration process could deter voters, possibly undermining Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s bid for a majority government.
Pollsters say mainly Liberal and left-leaning voters would like to use mail-in balloting, while Conservatives prefer to vote in person. But Liberal strategists are concerned the sign-up process for casting ballots by mail could discourage their supporters from using it and lead them to not vote at all.
I am suspicious of any Reuters story concerning the LPC given Freeland’s connections there.
I doubt mail in ballots will hurt the LPC or the NDP for that matter, it sure helped the Democrats.
