Just when you thought the EMSB election was over, a loser (and I use that term in only its literal sense) is contesting the vote claiming corruption. George Vogas, the incumbent in the Park Extension/Plateau district who lost by 6 votes, alleges winner Julien Feldman’s wife, CBC radio’s Joanne Bayly, was acting going to “every polling table” and otherwise doing evil election-fixing things.
(Full disclosure: I worked at CBC radio briefly, and Bayly told me I had a good voice for radio, which I naturally took as a marriage proposal. Though the fact that she’s already married might therefore have upset me somewhat, I think our relationship was doomed the moment I won an argument that the U.S. has never issued a $1 million bill.)
Since I have a clear conflict of interest, I’ll leave assessment of the legitimacy of this complaint as an exercise for the reader.
UPDATE (May 21, 2008): Vogas has dropped his complaint.
