OTTAWA — Several Conservative party leadership campaigns are worrying perpetrators of alleged fraud and vote-rigging won’t face consequences. Other candidates, including Andrew Scheer, Chris Alexander and Erin O’Toole, more quietly took vote-rigging concerns to the party. The first gossip of wrongdoing by the Bernier campaign reached party ears as early as a month ago, an insider said. RelatedKellie Leitch and others who say they’re innocent of registration fraud are concerned that whoever may have benefited from fake memberships will go unpunished. If candidates break rules, the party can force compliance, levy fines, issue warnings, refer matters to police or disqualify candidates.
