Never been part of a coalition, ran for senate or even been to a senate meeting.
Just calling it like I see it.
That was very ingenious of you to look at all my posts. . . almost as ingenious as trying to win an election by winning the most votes. Maybe next year you will all make the connection. Although, I don't think the election would be as interesting if all the other coalitions simply ran their campaign and didn't complain about everyone else. On second thought, keep doing what you are doing. I need something to keep me entertained in my old age.
At no point did I say how they got them is irrelevant. What I said is that you should focus more of your efforts on winning votes (within the rules, of course) and not on bashing the other side and trying to bring complaints and suits against them. From an outsider it appears as though you are trying to beat your opposition through the EC and not by getting the most votes. Again, focus on getting the votes, not on your competition. The equation is simple, the most votes wins, period. Everything else doesn't matter and will not help you win.
The UDK didn't report on these incidents because no one cares except you guys. Maybe next year you need to remember that votes win elections, not crying to the judicial board, EC, UDK, or anyone reading these comments about the atrocities that were committed during the elections process.
If I were to running a campaign I would focus all my time getting votes instead of complaining how big of cheaters, idiots, liars, scumbags, etc. the opposition was. If you spent half as much time getting votes as you do complaining you would win. Plus, all the complaining makes you look stupid/ incompetent.
US got more votes, they win. Next year, focus on what will enable you to win-getting more votes than anyone else.
Just eliminate the EC. If there are any violations that actually deem looking into the University Judicial Board can fix them (although it might take 6 months). The current EC is just used as a political weapon and doesn't really do anything to keep the election fair. Not to mention the election rules are a joke.
Porte's GF is the sister of a commissioner! You have got to be kidding me. That has got to be the most outrageous thing I have ever heard. Surely she was not taking sides in this at all. . . I don't think the writers of 24 could come up with a better plot than this.
What a joke this whole process is. . . everyone involved should be embarrassed what this has turned into.
I re-read the article. Am I reading this correctly and members of the Election Commission divulged classified information? So for this to be known they had to have turned themselves in. . . right?
Must have been a minimal number of applicants for the EC this year as usual.
Student Senate never fails to entertain me. When is the first draft of this years drama book going to be released? I want to pre-order on Amazon so I learn all the details!
It is unfortunate that this years election will be extremely biased because the Commission decided to hear this complaint hours before the polls open. I thought the Commission was supposed to not be political? The Commission is playing right into the politics of the coalitions. . . Shame on them!
No matter who wins this election, their victory will always be tarnished in the fact that they could not win an election based on platform issues or the individual merits of each candidate. No, The Commission had to step in and swing their mighty fist and will undoubtedly influence this election. But I guess in politics a win is a win no matter how it is accomplished! That is why I hate politicians.
According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder Colorado, the sea ice in the Arctic has increased from 1.65 million square miles to 2.03 million square miles. That is over a 20% increase in size from last September (depending on of you use the Fair Tax method of calculating percentages or the way everyone else does)! So does this mean that Al Gore was wrong and it is not Global Warming that we need to worry about but Global Cooling (a la the 1970s)? I better go buy some warmer clothes, I have been feeling it get cooler the past few days. . .that could just be the changing of the seasons, but who can tell anyways?
Envision frustrated but unfazed by election loss

Good to see you are such gracious losers. Please just accept the fact that you lost.
