Alfred Edward Reid (November 28, 1891 – October 7, 1955) was a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Hants East in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1954 to 1955. He was a member of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party.[1]
Born in 1891 at Musquodoboit, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Reid was a general merchant by career.[2] He married Ruth Emma Kerr in 1913.[2] Reid attempted to enter provincial politics in the 1953 election, and after trailing on election night,[3] a recount resulted in Reid winning the Hants East riding by one vote over Progressive Conservative incumbent Ernest M. Ettinger.[4] Ettinger appealed to the Supreme Court citing voting irregularities,[5] and the election was voided in February 1954.[1] A byelection was held on November 16, 1954, resulting in a tie between Reid and Ettinger which was broken when the returning officer cast the deciding vote for Reid,[6] declaring him elected by one vote.[7] Reid died in office on October 7, 1955.[2]
