Guilty of fraud in robocalls

The Federal Court says it won't throw six MPs out of their seats over allegations of widespread vote suppression through automated robocalls in the 2011 federal election.

A group of voters, backed by the Council of Canadians, challenged the MPs based on what the voters said was a pattern of voter harassment and misleading phone calls that sent some people to the wrong polling stations.

The voters who challenged the election results said it pointed to a co-ordinated campaign to suppress support for parties other than the Conservative Party.

Judge Richard Mosley didn't annul the election results, but he did find that fraud occurred in the election.

Thanks Ed ....The key here is that the courts found that fraud occurred. That in itself is a criminal act and should be prosecuted. It is up to the people to file a complaint and the police to pursue it, that is not likely with todays government and their control.
