I think, overall, most Canadians have had positive or uneventful voting experiences for decades. So what is going on in #OntarioElection2022 ? People told they have already voted? Machines down & no system for running paper-only ballots? Polling stations being moved last minute?
I know, we mustn't question the voting system, lest it throw shade on the veracity of the election results. So they say. But so many issues in so many locations? What is going on? Were elections staff poorly trained this time? Was the technology not thoroughly tested in advance?
This all seems weird because Canadian elections usually run very smoothly. I'm not saying it's some kind of vote suppression conspiracy, but @ElectionsON is probably going to want to take a look at why there were so many problems.
And, seriously, what "equipment" do you need to switch over to paper-only voting if the machine is down? A box with a slit in the top. A makeshift ballot box is better than people not getting to vote.
