[fvc-wat-disc] Total ballots ...

[Eleanor Grant]

Hi Fair Voters -

These are the numbers that Jenn found for me on Feb 9.

Results of 2015 Oct 19 election:
35,749,600 - Population of Canada
25,638,379 - Eligible Voters
17,559,353 - Ballots cast
  8,214,532 - Effective votes
  9,106,926 - "Wasted" votes, elected no one.

I noticed the numbers don't add up;
237,895 votes are unaccounted for.
Would there be that many spoiled ballots across the country?

But even if all of these were added to the effective votes, they're still
far outnumbered by the votes which elected no one.  That's scandalous.

Eleanor
