   Ontario politician wants head Alberta go

   Good luck with that.  The guy is dirty - from start to now.  The fraud used to   
   elect Kenney as UCP leader could well be used again in next Tuesday's election.   
      
   Just how many more of this type of politician are Albertans anxious to elect?

   Fraudulent emails used to cast votes in UCP leadership   
      
   Lists show members had emails attached to their names that were used to   
   intercept PINs needed to vote   
      
      
   Documents obtained by CBC News show email addresses fraudulently attached to   
   Alberta's United Conservative Party (UCP) memberships were used to cast   
   ballots in the party's leadership race, which Jason Kenney won in 2017.   
      
   There were virtually no safeguards against the practice.   
      
   From a sample of 49 email addresses selected by CBC News, due to suspicious   
   domains, from a list of over 100,000 UCP members, 31 were used to cast votes   
   in the leadership vote.   
      
   Those email addresses were cross-referenced with a list of people registered   
   to vote in the leadership race and a list of those who actually voted.    
      
   Former UCP MLA Prab Gill has alleged in a letter to the RCMP that the Kenney   
   leadership campaign used fraudulent emails to intercept personal   
   identification numbers needed to cast a ballot in the leadership race. Gill   
   said those PINs, which should have    
   been sent to individual members, were then used by the Kenney campaign to vote   
   for Kenney.   
      
   A cease and desist letter sent to Gill from Kenney's lawyer Steven Dollansky   
   calls the allegations "plainly false and defamatory."   
      
   Many of the suspect domains trace back to a hosting service and are linked to   
   a network of ever-changing websites and domains, including Torytracker.com,   
   Bellwebmail.com, Mail.deanfrench.ca and many more.   
      
   It is not known who purchased those domains.   
      
   As previously reported, the suspect email addresses attached to members were   
   all purchased in the days leading up to the UCP leadership vote on Oct. 28,   
   2017. None of the emails are currently in service.   
      
   Cross-referencing two of the party lists obtained by CBC News shows the vast   
   majority of the fraudulent emails were attached to memberships between Oct. 3   
   and Oct. 24, 2017.   
      
   It is not known how widespread the practice is outside of the selected sample,   
   and there could be more fraudulent emails with valid domains like Gmail or   
   Hotmail.   
      
   Calling those on the list   
      
   To choose the leader of their political party in 2017, UCP members submitted   
   their vote online. In order to do so, each member was meant to have a verified   
   email address and a PIN number.   
      
   CBC News contacted a dozen people with suspect emails attached to their   
   memberships who confirmed they did not vote in the leadership race, and who   
   said their emails were different from the ones on the list.   
      
      
   One family's story   
      
   Raj said someone from his community came to the house and asked the family to   
   sign up for the UCP.   
      
   "They know that most people in our community, like my parents, who have a   
   language barrier, are not going to log into a computer and vote," he said.   
      
   Raj said his family is "not big into politics. It's something we kind of stay   
   away from." But they signed up because they were asked in person.   
      
   "At that point, when they come to your house, it's just a sign of respect."   
      
   Raj said they put down their names, phone numbers and street address. Emails   
   were also put down for some members of his family. CBC News is withholding how   
   many family members there are in order to protect the family's identity.   
      
   On the list obtained by CBC News, it shows emails were added for some family   
   members without emails, and the other members had their emails changed.   
      
   "Clearly, I can say 100 per cent: We did not vote," Raj said.   
   - - -    
      
   Multiple votes from one location   
      
   The Kenney campaign has faced allegations that it used virtual private   
   networks (VPNs) to mask the addresses of computers in order to cast multiple   
   ballots from one location.   
      
   That allegation was connected to the use of PINs acquired through the use of   
   fraudulent emails.
