Elections Ontario is “investigating” after a whistleblower filmed an exposé claiming to reveal vulnerabilities in the Ontario voting process.

Spencer, who wanted to remain anonymous for fear of legal reprisal, released the video to his YouTube account, “MCGA.” He filmed himself getting registered to vote using only an edited document with a TD bank logo, a fake name, and a phoney address in each of the 13 returning offices he visited.

The YouTuber sought to expose apparent flaws in Ontario’s electoral system, the lack of enforcing a photo identification requirement for voters.

According to Elections Ontario’s website, a voter in Ontario without a Voter Information Card can use one of 29 documents showing the voter’s name and address. Acceptable “proof” of address and ID include a paid receipt, documents certified by the Canadian government or, in Spencer’s case, a bank account or credit card statement.

In an interview with True North, Spencer said he reached the attestation stage in 13 electoral districts. He never went as far as to give his signature on the electoral officer’s iPad, declaring he was who he said he was, as he intended to expose the system, not vote using false IDs.
