Can you smell that, people? Thats politics in the air. Or maybe its just the stale stench of patchouli mixed with B.O. Well, in any case, today is the last day to cast your votes in the ASUO election.

And I know that everyone is very excited to finally find out the results of this truncated, anti-climatic simulacrum of the democratic process when they are announced, but before we do, we are going to have to wade through another Election Board fiasco.

This time, according to a press release issued by Nathan Strauss, ASUO Elections Publicity Coordinator, [I]t came to the Election Boards attention that certain majors are not being correctly correlated to academic senate seats on DuckWeb. The use of passive voice is a sad attempt to belie the culpability of Stephanie Day and her Suite Four Super Friends.

This mistake means that certain majors will not be able to vote for the senate seats that represent them academically.

Way to go, Stephanie Day! Not only did you manage to push elections back to a point where law students were reluctant to run, but now, thanks to another oversight, you are forcing students to invalidate their votes until some future, hitherto unknown date.

According to the press release, senate seats 10, 12 and 14 are being affected. The Election Board will have an emergency meeting tomorrow with the campaign managers of the senate candidates affected in order hash out solutions to the problem. Then, if needed, the Election Board will hold an additional General Election between April 21st and April 23rd.

Its a sad day when a no-pants-wearing drunkard is less of a joke than the person running the election. And to think, this will probably be the cornerstone of Days resume. Blech!
