Despite reports of long lineups at the polls — pushing some people to bail on voting altogether — Alberta’s minister of municipal affairs stands behind the changes.

On the Calgary Eyeopener, Dan Williams said it isn’t the province’s responsibility to ensure municipal elections go smoothly.

“If the municipalities want [the] province to step in and replace their election authority, they can propose that.”

So the UCP is going to fuck with municipal elections but not take responsibility for the problems.

    Hooray, more big government bureaucracy thanks to your United Conservative Party! Remember that, Albertans!

    Registration over and over. It’s like they are constructing some lists or something, or at least trying to intimidate voters away. I have to admit, I almost did Nazi this coming.

    Under his eye, commander.
