( SUPPLIED PHOTO )A Progressive Conservative vice-president has resigned in protest from the party executive after officials glossed over a questionable nomination amid allegations of ballot-stuffing, the Star has learned. “It did happen, but with respect to it I have no further comment,” Elliott, a consultant with Temple Scott Associates, said Monday from Ottawa. Despite the shambolic nomination in Ottawa — and similar problems in Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas and Newmarket-Aurora — the party executive opted against holding new contests. They’ve elevated quickly,” PC Party president Rick Dykstra said in an internal email obtained by the Star. But in a controversial move, the party announced Brown was certifying all 64 nominated Tory candidates — including Macgregor — regardless of the allegations of irregularities.
