Council Race Goes to Seton, Redmond

King, Driskell fall second in elections

The Seton and Redmond campaign featured woodencut-outs of the candidates which were displayed infront of the Science Center, a bagpipe-and-bannerprocession across campus and, of course, theever-present magenta Seton-Redmond buttons.

Excluded Voters

Some students were unable to vote in theelections because a glitch in the "ucvote"computer program shut down the polls at 11 p.m. onFriday, an hour before the scheduled midnightclosing time.

Election commission members said they have beenmanually tallying the votes of the 21 students whosent e-mail to the election commission to complainabout the error.

The votes of students who did not complain tothe commission will not be included in the finalresults, however, even if their votes wereinappropriately rejected by the "ucvote" program.

Election commission members said they did notknow how to reach these students, and HarvardComputer Society representatives said they werenot sure whether the "ucvote" program kept a logof rejected voting attempts.

Rounding up those who did complain about theelection has also been tough. Of the 21 studentswho complained that their votes had been rejected,14 had still not been reached last night.

But even though the final tallies were notavailable Friday night, for some candidates, theunfinalized results were enough.

"Kamil and I came in [to our victory party] andgave the news and there was lots of screaming andcheering and laughing and jumping up and down,"Seton said, adding that he is ready to get to workon attacking students' "everyday problems.
