Major rival to Alberta Premier says he plans to send a complaint to Elections Alberta

A major rival to Premier Jason Kenney says he plans to send a complaint to Elections Alberta after the United Conservative Party moved to a mail-in vote on Kenney's leadership.

Brian Jean says he will also file an arbitration request with the party because he fears voting my mail instead of in-person will be rampant with cheating and fraud.

The MLA elect in Fort McMurray-Lac La Biche says he's having a sense of deja vu after losing the UCP leadership to Kenney in 2017 in a race marred by allegations of collusion and voting irregularities.

Jean says he's heard again of possible membership mining to harvest favourable ballots for Kenney.
