Student Government Elections at Carnegie Mellon

I've posted them here for everyone's benefit.

I would like to point out that Optimus Prime and Readme each had a greater impact than Nader did in 2004 in the respective presedential elections, and if they'd run together, they would've beat Nader in 2000.

Also, note the senator sitations in CIT and CFA:
CIT: Both Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and Readme, a weekly publication, beat out half or more of the CIT senators and in total garnered ~10% of the CIT vote.
They each also beat out the 4 write-ins tied for the 5th H&SS seat.

In CFA everyone wins due to the 4th place slot going to anyone with a single vote.

4 of my friends also managed to tie for 4th place in MCS, after starting their campaign half way through the final day of voting. They each received 7 votes.

Many write-ins expressed disdain about the current state of elections, such as this one from the election for VP of Finance:
BOTH CANDIDATES WRITE LIKE HIGH SCHOOLERS 1 0.10%

Others advertised WRCT radio shows (From Tepper Senate Elections):
SPORTSLINE AIRS TUESDAYS AT 10PM ON WRCT RADIO 1 1.45%

The following gems were from the CIT Senate race:
THE CUT ITS AN OPEN THOROUGHFARE 1 0.42%
I DIDNT GET TO HAVE A FUNNEL CAKE AT CARNIVAL 1 0.42%
EGGPLANT CURRY 1 0.42%
A VOTE FOR JOHN EASTRIDGE IS A VOTE FOR ROCK 1 0.42%
THE LARGEST SEA MAMMAL IS A WHALE 1 0.42%
HORSE AND BURRO ADOPTION FOR LIFE 1 0.42%

The three stooges each received a vote for MCS senate:
arry 1 0.86%
curly 1 0.86%
moe 1 0.86%

From H&SS Senate race:
NONE OF THE ABOVE 1 0.45%
THESE ELECTIONS ARE MEANINGLESS 1 0.45%
DISBAND SENATE 1 0.45%
NO CONFIDENCE 1 0.45%
