The Alberta government banned the use of electronic tabulators in municipal elections when it passed Bill 20 in May of this year. It's a method that municipalities have used for decades, saying it has saved them time and money.

Alberta Municipalities wants the province to reconsider.

A resolution to be put forward at the organization's annual convention this week in Red Deer calls for tabulators to be permitted as an option "to ensure accurate, cost-effective and timely results for Albertan voters."

St. Albert Mayor Cathy Heron, who is also president of Alberta Municipalities, told CBC Radio's Edmonton AM that she can't remember a time when St. Albert wasn't using tabulators.

Seriously. The only people scared of unfair elections are the ones that would vote unfairly if given the chance.

Great. That means it's only a matter of time before Hank Hill and his Hillbilly Sask Party decides to do the same thing in Saskatchewan...
