"SNIP............................
Former Conservative staffer Michael Sona has been sentenced to nine months in jail plus a year on probation for trying to keep some voters in Guelph, Ont., from casting ballots in the 2011 federal election.
..................................
Earlier, Hearn said Sona's crime showed a "callous and blatant disregard for the right of people to vote" and said Sona was a major participant in this "ill-conceived and disturbing plan."
................................
Sona, 26, was the only person charged with planning and setting loose a misleading robocall that hit 6,000 voters in Guelph in an attempt to keep them from casting ballots in the May 2, 2011, federal election. He was found guilty in August and faced a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
Between 150 to 200 people who received the robocall went to the wrong place to vote.

Boo!
He did it on his own just like Nigel Wright paid Duffy out on his own, and like the CRA is coincidentally auditing only environmental and left leaning charities on their own.
What a farce.
