GU election commission mysteriously postpones result
Who won the Georgetown Student Association presidency this week? We won’t know until Tuesday.
“The Election Commission has received several inquiries and complaints about this year’s election. In order to follow up and investigate each claim adequately, the Election Commission has decided, in accordance with the Student Association bylaws, to delay the announcement of results until early next week,” said Election Commissioner Maura Cassidy (COL ‘08) in an e-mail.
The Election Commission declined to comment further on specific complaints.
What were the complaints? Why the wait? Is it technical failure? Fraud? Did someone spend too much money and now needs to be disqualified? This is not a model for transparent election administration.
