**PRANK** Election Vote Tabulation Delayed **PRANK**
[Update: Now that Angel sent out an e-mail, I guess I can pass on word that this was a prank. I'll have more details about what happened (like who fell for it hardest, and believe me, there are multiple candidates) after I get a chance to speak to the person who was responsible. END UPDATE]

Apparently the injunction was issued earlier today. Here is the e-mail I received from Election Council Chair Angel Brewer:

Dearest Candidates,

I have received word from Judicial Council Chair Robert Gregg earlier today
that an injunction has been placed on releasing the election results.
A member of the SQUELCH! Party filed suit before the Judicial Council,
arguing that the Election Council violated President Leybovich's
Executive Order regarding offsite voting by EAP students.

The Judicial Council has agreed that tabulating the votes before that
suit is heard could do irreperable harm to the effort to get votes
counted which were mailed in after the deadline, which the SQUELCH!
Party is arguing should be counted anyway.

That hearing has not yet been scheduled, although once I receive word
about when that will occurr, I will be rescheduling the vote
tabulation.

Thank you again for your fabulous patience awaiting these results. I
regret the delay, and hopefully we can have the votes counted before
finals are over.

Warmly,
angel symoon brewer
chair, asuc elections council 2005

More to come soon, including the briefs for the case and the actual decision from the JCouncil.Email This Post!
