Review of Metis Nation election finds problems


A review of the recent Metis Nation of Saskatchewan election has found numerous irregularities, including ballots cast by dead people, more ballots cast than voters and false voter addresses.

The audit, commissioned by the province of Saskatchewan, said the irregularities were large enough to have changed the outcome of the election. Dwayne Roth was declared the winner over Robert Doucette by just 26 votes.

The province has suspended funding to the Metis Nation but Roth has said he won't recognize the results of the review.
