WSA election results are in!

WSA elections closed last night at midnight, and the results are in.

At-Large Representatives

Interestingly, Giant Joint’s perennial candidacy got only 83 votes. Barack Obama got six votes, and students who took the elections a little less seriously wrote in such gems as Turd Sandwich and “Bon Appétit wasn’t going to fuck up Summerfields, but then they got high, la da da da da da da da.”

Students who took the elections a bit more seriously wrote in such pleas as, “These candidates haven’t written anything meaningful in their blurbs. Put a little less effort into sounding cute and a little more thought into what it means to be a WSA rep and I might vote for you,” and, “A candidate who actually takes this election seriously.” Check out the full results for more.
