NDP leader says voter fatigue a hurdle in B.C. byelections

VICTORIA, B.C. - B.C. New Democrat Leader Carole James says voters are worn out, making it difficult to campaign for Wednesday's two provincial byelections.

James said she's encountered voter fatigue in dramatic fashion while door-knocking in the vacant Vancouver-Burrard and Vancouver-Fairview ridings. One elderly Vancouver woman welcomed her into her home but politely told her she was too late for the Oct. 14 federal election, James said.

"There's voter fatigue, there's no question about that," she said.

James said the elderly woman told her: "Oh, it's wonderful to see you dear, I'm really glad you're here, but you're a little late."

She said the woman had no idea the B.C. New Democrat leader was campaigning for two provincial byelections.
