Lawyers for the NDP and Conservative parties will make their arguments Thursday at Federal Court in a challenge to the election results in six ridings across Canada.
Eight voters have applied to the court to overturn the results in their six ridings, which saw Conservative MPs elected on May 2, 2011. They allege a campaign of misleading and harassing phone calls deterred voters from casting ballots, and that the Conservative Party benefited from the alleged voter suppression tactics.
Steven Shrybman, who represents the eight voters, wrapped up two days of arguments yesterday by imploring Judge Richard Mosley to find there was fraud committed in the ridings when a mysterious person or people arranged the misleading and harassing calls.
Shrybman is trying to prove that Mosley must throw out the results of the election in those six ridings:
- Nipissing-Timiskaming in Ontario.
- Elmwood-Transcona and Winnipeg South Centre in Manitoba.
- Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar.
- Vancouver Island North.
- Yukon.
NDP lawyer James Duggan expects to take an hour to speak to the case Thursday, followed by Arthur Hamilton, the lawyer for the Conservative MPs.
This will be the first time Hamilton presents the response to the application to overturn the election results. He has already argued two motions to dismiss the case. Mosley hasn't yet ruled on the second motion to dismiss.
