A lawyer for eight voters seeking to throw out Conservative MPs in six ridings will continue presenting evidence in Federal Court Wednesday morning that he says demonstrates a targetted campaign to keep voters from the polls in the last election.
On Tuesday, Steven Shrybman said there is "no loaded gun" pointing to election fraud, and conceded that none of the eight voters he represents failed to cast a ballot in the last election.
But, he argued, court documents describing a number of Elections Canada investigations, an affidavit from a call centre staffer who says she made misleading phone calls and polling data showing widespread suppression, are all consistent with his clients' assertion that misleading calls influenced the outcome of the election in their ridings.
Shrybman said the case does not allege wrongdoing by the Conservative Party or its officials, or a telephone marketing firm hired by the party to conduct election calls.
Shrybman will continue with evidence Wednesday. The court will hear also this week from the lawyer representing the responding MPs who risk losing their seats, as well as Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand.
