And of course the complaints will be made by morons who have absolutely no idea how the vote counting works and that there are scrutineers watching, especially if there are recounts.
The interesting part will be to see if any scrutineers actually challenge any ballots. It's not the U.S. where different systems can exist between counties with voting on a bunch of things. It's only to vote for your electoral district's MLA. Not complicated. Maybe the online complainers will blame Dominion tabulator machines! Any recounts are not done by machine and are done by hand.

I believe the regulations stipulate a one week delay between the initial count and final count/recount. That provides lots of time for conspiracy theories.
BC also has a vote anywhere policy. You don't have to vote in local riding. If you vote in a different riding they check your id, print your ballot on the spot and you vote. If it is a smaller/low volume location without the tabulation machine, the ballet is sealed and counted as part of the final count a week later. The same happens for voters at care homes, military stations or remote work camps.
All said, now that they have added may of those extra uncounted votes, the outcome has not changed.
I think the Conservatives find technology scarry and they don't trust it. This crop of conservatives MLAs have problems with public health, climate modelling and the sciences/math in general.
The Conservatives also instructed their candidates not to talk to the press or participate in debates. Now that it is over and they are talking, they are sharing their views and some are quit "enlightening" as to what the Conservative party stands for. One who is in a close race shared her views on how indigenous communities were "savage" and addicted to drugs. Thankfully she will probably lose. Not clear what vetting process was used on these candidates. I would not be surprised if that party self destructs.
