During Friday’s hearing, Students Party members count- ed nine rules broken by elections staff and SG Supervisor of Elections Toni Megna. Ossip said the broken rules and the 535 students who voted under District E this year, up from only 65 last fall, are cause for an elections redo. Megna declined to comment on the Election Commis- sion’s decision. Ossip said Sunday that the question is whether students cast their ballots for the wrong districts. “The blame game is irrelevant,” he said. Ossip said the implication that UF students are not in- telligent enough to vote properly is “incredibly offensive to students.” “What’s the harm of an investigation?” Jonathan Ossip Students Party member

Senate Allocations Committee Chairman Joe Pardo, who will represent the Student Senate in the UF Supreme Court hearing, said he thinks any discrepancy is a result of user error. “I think it should be emphasized that we assume and de- mocracy assumes a voter is educated,” Pardo said. Leytham, a law student, said Florida law mandates that in an electronic-ballot election, voters must be able to change anything on the ballots before they actually cast their votes. UF’s electronic voting did not allow students to go back once they had reached the candidate lists for their districts. Thus, students who realized they shouldn’t be seeing the list Maggie Powers / Alligator for District E couldn’t go back at that point.

Editorial Unclean Conscience SG moves to validate election despite errors he alleged glitches of the UF Student Government elec- tions last week and the subsequent behavior of SG offi- cials make Chicago politics appear clean and tidy. TWhat the Editorial Board fails to understand is why SG of- ficials have been so quick to dismiss the results of this election as anything but problematic. Voting in District E increased by more than 800 percent this semester (535 votes) compared to last fall (65 votes). Steven Bourdon, systems administrator of SG and the Reitz Union, said this event was nothing more than an “anomaly.” Clearly, it is much more than that. Instead, election officials want to blame voter ignorance for the problem. According to Friday’s edition of the Alligator, “If students were placed in District E, their voting screens Tuesday morn- ing would have indicated that. The page also listed each ZIP code not included in District E. Students who noticed zoning errors could select to complete affidavits with their correct ad- dresses.” In other words, the burden was placed on students to ensure they actually lived in a District E ZIP code. Fair elections should never place the burden on the voter to ensure that the information is correct. Column SG Supervisor of Elections Toni Megna told the Alligator “any students that go [to the SG website to check their district] are the ones that are interested in being educated voters.” Social Security depletes government funds Well, that didn’t sound condescending. few weeks ago, presidential candidate and Texas Social Security pays out dis- You cannot expect that every voter will check to make sure Gov.
