This story can't get any funnier until you read some of the CBC reader comments after the story so I may as well add my thoughts....
Will someone please take Keith aside and tell him it's all over but the crying.... when Keith worked against me in Montague I lost by 5 votes and three of the voters that got ballots that day had been dead for over a year, but you didn't see me looking for a recount... I couldn't have anyway as my good friend John Broderick quickly took it upon himself, without any authority, to destroy all the records..... life's not fair Keith but we're both losers and we have to make the best of it... and what's now best for PEI is Gail Shea with a potential shot at Cabinet so why rock the boat... gee, I don't think Keith and I will make the Senate anytime soon...
Dead person voted, Milligan alleges

Records show a dead person voted in last week's federal election, Liberal candidate Keith Milligan states in his affidavit asking for a recount in the western P.E.I. riding of Egmont.
Milligan lost the count on election night to Conservative Gail Shea by just 62 votes, the closest result in a federal election on P.E.I. since the Second World War. He has asked for a judicial recount, which will begin Thursday in Summerside.
In a sworn affidavit filed with the P.E.I. Supreme Court Milligan alleges a number of irregularities. He said some people who live out of province were allowed to vote in Egmont when they didn't qualify, and that some potential voters were turned away because they didn't have the proper identification, while others without identification were allowed to vote.
It's up to the presiding judge to decide whether to proceed with a manual recount of all the ballots. Milligan will have to pay costs unless the recount alters the outcome of the vote.

Keith has single handedly done more for Tory fortunes on PEI (helpd elect Binns and Shea) than anyone else.
Harper should recognize Keith's valauble contributions by appointing him to something...likely not the Red Chamber.
yeah and I know a couple of dead people voted against you in the President's race...a few times...
I guess when you are a millionaire and it the taxpeyers' pocket ---everything is okay eh, Tim??
