Chief electoral officer overstepped his authority by probing Tory ads: lawyer

Tory lawyers are in a disagreement with the chief electoral officers. With the belief that he is overstepping his boundaries and not abiding by what is supposed to be a non-partisan point of view, Tory lawyers are not happy with the debate over spending on Conservative ad campaigns. Tory lawyers are claiming it is a fight that ought to have been addressed by the commissioner, saying that “the electoral officer should be above all that.” There is also a dispute as to how they are being treated in the situation in comparison to others who have found themselves in this kind of economic scandal. Personally, I think that this is interesting considering that this is an ad scandal having to do with the Conservative Party – founders of the ‘Accountability Act’.
