Yes, I think there is some merit to that, but I don't think that's the sole or the main way of dealing with these election abuses.
One of the things that concerns me.... Any of us who are elected people have heard rumour and rumour after rumour about people doing things—borderline things, illegal things—that influence an election in favour of our opponent. These have been made by all parties over the years and they can point to different ridings. A lot of this stuff is hearsay and a lot of it is after the fact.
I don't know what the answer is, but it seems to me that there should be some way of clearing the air on these types of charges because they float around forever. They become part of the urban legends or the legends in particular ridings.
I wonder, when our country does appoint independent election observers in other countries to endeavour to ensure that elections are fair and that there is not fraud, whether there isn't more room for the appointment of special officers to watch particular ridings where these types of rumours have surfaced for years.
