“Secret use of software to falsify the sender’s IP address, expressly designed for the purpose of evading detection, is an obvious badge of suspicious behaviour,” said the submission, obtained by Postmedia.

The campaign cited a screenshot of a message allegedly from a Kenney campaign member that references downloading the software to allow more than five people to vote from the same computer.

But UCP officials said that even if the Kenney camp was issuing the software, it was not against the party rules.

Leadership election committee chairwoman Robyn Henwood said there was no evidence of any wrongdoing or problems with the party’s voting system, and that she was “frustrated” by the accusations that had been raised.

“There has been absolutely no indication that there has been fraud at all. Full stop,” she said.

In a statement Friday afternoon, Schweitzer said he had raised “legitimate concerns around gaps in the voting process.”

“We are going to continue to focus on turning out our supporters and look forward to the results on Saturday,” said the Calgary lawyer.

The Jean campaign had also raised concerns about the Kenney camp’s use of the software. But in an early evening post on Twitter, the former Wildrose leader urged voters to get out and vote.

“Questions about process have been resolved & am confident in integrity of system. One more day! We can win this!” tweeted Jean.

Kenney spokesman Blaise Boehmer, meanwhile, said the allegations made against the former PC leader’s campaign were “without merit.”
