Student Congress candidate Taylor Ann Holgate has filed a complaint with the Student Supreme Court against Board of Elections Chairman Peter Gillooly, requesting that the Feb. 9 results for the District 5 Student Congress elections be invalidated.

Hogan Medlin was elected the next student body president this evening, defeating Shruti Shah in a runoff with 61 percent of the vote.

Medlin received 3,356 of the 5,499 total cast votes, which is a significant drop from the 9,513 votes cast for last year's runoff candidates.

CORRECTION 2:30 P.M. Feb. 16: Due to reporting errors, this story originally reported that Student Supreme Court Chief Justice Emma Hodson said that the Student Code provides "adequate guidelines" for technical problems and that Board of Elections Chairman Pete Gillooly followed them. She said neither. Hodson did say the code provides guidelines for technical voting problems, but she gave no opinion on the adequacy of the provision. This story also incorrectly reported that Hodson said students might not have been aware of paper ballots. She said students were not made aware of certain provisions of the Student Code, not paper ballots.

CLARIFICATION: This story originally said that the Student Supreme Court decided in the case filed against the Board of Elections. Chief Justice Emma Hodson decided the matter in a pretrial hearing that did not include other court members. Hodson acts on behalf of the court.

The Board of Elections has certified most of the results from Tuesday’s election, providing official recognition of the results.

Candidates for Student Congress districts one and five will not be certified until the lawsuit against Board of Elections Chairman Pete Gillooly is resolved. Below are the candidates certified in the other races:

The popular male frontrunner gets more than 40 percent of the vote. His large campaign staff is thrilled to head into a runoff against the female candidate who won a much smaller portion of the vote. The eliminated candidates begin to throw their support behind her campaign, with the hope of upsetting the frontrunner.

It’s 2009 all over again.
