"
Leeanne Bielli of Toronto was one of the voters in seven ridings across Canada who filed affidavits reporting that they received calls designed to keep them from voting.
In an affidavit sworn out in April, Bielli reported receiving a robocall telling her that her polling station had moved. She did not manage to write down the address, and didn’t know who to call to get the right address.
“Because of this uncertainty, I did not vote in the election,” she wrote.
As it turns out, she didn’t know in which riding she lived.
Bielli believed she lived in Don Valley East, where Liberal Yasmin Ratsani lost to Conservative Joe Daniel, according to her affidavit. But the Conservatives eventually discovered she actually was eligible to vote in the adjacent riding of Don Valley West, where Liberal Rob Oliphant lost to Conservative John Carmichael.
A lawyer working for Conservatives checked Bielli’s name against an electronic copy of the national electors list, which is provided to candidates and parties by Elections Canada.
The list showed Bielli had been living in the adjacent riding of Don Valley West since February 2011, at least two months before the May 2 election. The information was confirmed by checking with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, according to court documents."

I'm willing to bet more of them sputter out before the court date hits.

No surprise.

This should bolster the case further rather than back burner it. Robocalls into a neighbouring riding directing the elector to a nonexsistant polling station in a riding she is not eligible to vote in. That is really underhanded if in fact it happened.

Bielli may have actually got a call directing her to the proper polling place.

The problem is she had no clue as to what riding she was supposed to vote in. The COC looks like fools for not even bother to follow it up, makes you wonder how many of these will actually make that Dec10th court date.
