“Flawed, but ultimately fair, chief electoral officer says of B.C. election”

From the Vancouver Sun, the most important paragraph in my mind is this one:

Still, Boegman insists that in each case the problems were fixed and the overall outcome of the election was not affected.

As long as humans are running elections, there will be mistakes.  I continue to think that the right standard isn’t whether mistakes are happening, but whether the system is sufficiently robust to catch and correct them before they impact an outcome.
