Elections can't be that hard? Can they?

Apparently the Executive Council couldn't pull off the spring election for next year's officers. As you can read from the story The Olympian is running here, the ASOC allowed a student to run who is, according to the constitution and by-laws, ineligible. The vice president of Judicial Affairs, Joseph Vannett, who caught the error after we ran a brief bio on the candidate Tuesday, is claiming he was unaware of the fact prior to the election. Vannett changed the ballots midway through Tuesday's voting period placing current treasurer and presidential candidate Bryan Davis on the ballot for the now open Vice President of Judicial Affairs position.
This change prompted ASOC President David Hammrich to call off the election until further notice. In an e-mail to the candidates Hammrich called the ballots 'tainted' and said that another election is in order.

We will keep you posted as things develop.
