VANCOUVER — A British Columbia political scientist says social media questioning of the provincial election's integrity is an"inevitable" result of political"toxicity" and a tight race.
"I mean, we're describing almost exactly the situation in the U.S., right? Basically a 50/50 result, so close that each side might have suspicions about the other." "Elections BC staff have been working tirelessly and doing their best within the confines of the legislation that governs their work," Estey said in her post.
Johnston said Elections BC's efforts to make voting more accessible and counting more efficient had actually been feeding integrity doubts. Dominion Voting Systems, which manufactured the electronic tabulators used in the B.C. election, referred questions to its website page dedicated to misinformation about the company and its technology. It addresses concerns about misinformation that emerged after the U.S. presidential election in 2020.
