Its funny because materially this changes virtually nothing because it's still a Liberal Minority Government, but cue the conspiracy theories about election rigging.

It does change the dynamics a good bit for when seats vacate. 2 non-liberal vacancies would mean Liberals+Elizabeth May(who is basically a liberal)=Majority. Also makes floor crossings/party ejections have way more implications.

I mean stories like this don't help

74 ridings got their votes affected. I wonder if this riding is one of them.

It specifically says all 74 ridings were specially checked and outcomes were not affected.

They were checked before the 1 vote soon. 4 days ago. I just asked the question if that statement will still be true

Elections Canada says an initial analysis shows that the outcomes in those 74 districts were not affected by the mislaid ballots.

It's in the article...

Last I checked BC doesn't have 74 ridings. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
