SOUTH VANCOUVER - Last week, the LINK reported that Liberal incumbent Ujjal Dosanjh won by only 33 votes over his Conservative challenger Wai Young, who did a bang-up job of delivering majority of the Asian vote as well as Indo-Canadian and mainstream vote. Judicial review of the vote began on Friday morning but given the large number of votes to be counted, the process will not be complete until at least Saturday or Monday, when we will know who the real winner is.
The LINK also reported that there were many irregularities in voting in the riding with one particular poll – which had the maximum of 500 votes to be cast, but allegedly had a final count of more than 900 votes with more than 800 allegedly credited to the Liberal candidate.
One poll:
Maximum of 500 possible legitimate votes.
Votes cast: >900.
Votes for Liberal candidate: >800.
Liberal won the riding by only 33 votes.
