OTTAWA — The Conservative party says they have full confidence in last Saturday’s leadership vote, despite concerns raised publicly by Maxime Bernier’s supporters. CTV News reported Thursday that there was a discrepancy between the total number of votes cast in the Conservative leadership race and the final voter ID list provided to the 13 leadership campaigns. In all, the party counted roughly 141,000 votes and determined that Andrew Scheer won a razor-thin majority of support ahead of Bernier. The party chalked the discrepancy up to human error, with volunteers failing to upload some voters to that central database. But Cory Hann, a spokesperson for the Conservative party, said that the party is confident the voting was accurate.
