Brief Background
Late on the night of Friday, June 17, a robot voting program attacked the National Marriage Referendum Web site. This robot began to make thousands of fraudulent “Yes” votes to the referendum question “Should Parliament pass Bill C-38 to legalize same-sex marriage in Canada.”
It was easy to determine that these were fraudulent votes because all were “voted” using variations of just a few Hotmail e-mail accounts and by the huge volume coming in per hour. About 4,000 of these fraudulent “Yes” votes were registered before all voting was suspended. These fraudulent votes have been eliminated from the database. In the eight days that the referendum was posted before this attack more than 100,000 legitimate votes had been cast, with “Nos” in the majority by about a 3:1 margin.
At the rate at which people were voting legitimately, at least 20,000 Canadians were denied the opportunity to make their voices heard on this important issue. No doubt some of the people you referred, or who they referred, were prevented from voting by this dishonest effort to skew the results of the referendum.
