A complaint alleging voting irregularities during an Ontario Liberal nomination meeting in Scarborough was dismissed by a party arbitration committee. Federal Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith appealed after narrowly losing the nomination in Scarborough-Southwest by 19 votes to Ahsanul Hafiz. He alleged that 34 ballots were recorded more than the number of registered voters. The three-member committee issued a 17-page decision after a hearing and concluded there were no irregularities in the meeting’s conduct that affected the result or undermined vote integrity. The committee found the discrepancy was an error of record keeping rather than a voting irregularity, and dismissed the appeal.
"In a 17-page decision, the three-member arbitration committee said it found no irregularities in conduct of the nomination meeting that affected the result or called the vote integrity into question. The three-member arbitration committee held a hearing investigating Erskine-Smith's complaint last Wednesday."
