Liberal leadership hopeful Todd Stone has been dealt a major blow just one day before the party elects a new leader. "Last Friday, our senior campaign team was contacted by the party about a situation involving missing email addresses on a group of pending membership applications," campaign co-chair Peter Fassbender said in a statement. "Upon being informed of the situation, Todd immediately requested a full investigation to determine exactly what had transpired." The party accepted Stone's recommendation that the 1,349 applications in question not be included in the voting process. Stone's campaign says party members and British Columbians should have full confidence in the result.
