Monday morning, and I’ve already gotten my Covid and flu vaccines, and I’ve voted in the Toronto civic election.
It’s unfortunate that in such a tight race, there is a second (practically unknown) candidate with the same last name as the incumbent. If he does siphon votes away from the incumbent, it will be completely obvious in the post-election statistics, but with no way to prove that he wasn’t just that popular.
My personal opinion is that any time a last name is duplicated anywhere on a ballot, election workers should mention it (without naming names). Just “here is your ballet — please note some names show up more than once, so please double check your choice.”
