TO THE EDITOR:
Over the past weeks, we have seen complaint after complaint filed in the Board of Elections against every single SBP candidate who made the ballot. The substance of these complaints? Some are certainly concerning. Others are as trivial as forgetting to put “sponsored by the (candidate) for SBP campaign” on an Instagram account or having your campaign manager joke about the election on his Facebook page. At what cost is winning worth? While putting out shiny campaign videos with people smiling on campus, are students now focusing on coordinating BOE attacks on each other in the background?
My letter is not intended to paint any specific candidate or campaign in a bad light. I write merely as a student who is deeply saddened to see that this election will apparently not be fought for voters but instead decided in the Student Supreme Court.
Respectfully,
Taylor Bates
RHA President
