2008 MSU Presidential Campaign Results

 
The Vote Breakdown

So, MacInsiders is going to break down the votes and see what went down. The votes started out looking in Azim Kasmani's favour, with him taking the lead for initial votes.

Votes after Leavitt's were re-distributed:

KASMANI - 1326
JERIMI JONES - 1280
PAUL JONES - 1175
DUGDALE - 154
LEAVITT - DISQUALIFIED*
SPOILED - 245
ABSTAIN - 37
TOTAL - 4217

However, after the lower candidates were taken off and their votes re-distributed, it became a neck-and-neck race between JEREMI JONES and AZIM KASMANI. The results below:

JEREIMI JONES - 1839
AZIM KASMANI - 1831
SPOILED - 245
ABSTAIN - 302
TOTAL - 4217

That's right folks, J JONES won by 8 VOTES!

Congrats to Jeremi, and we hope to get a MacInsiders interview with him soon.

*There has not been an official announcement on the reasoning behind Joel's disqualification yet. We'll let you know as soon as we know.

First off, congratulations to Jerimi for running such a good campaign.

For those who are wondering, Joel Leavitt was disqualified from the MSU race but is appealing the decision of the elections committee. Mr. Leavitt feels that the reasons for his disqualification are baseless and is confident that the elections appeals committee will rule in his favour and that a re-count will be taking place shortly.

Congratulations to Jerimi and the strong efforts of his campaign team, well deserved.

Joel will be appealing the election commitee's decision and will be back in this race!

Look forward to an interesting week!

Congratulations to Jerimi for winning the preliminaries. However, Joel Leavitt's disqualification is currently being appealed, and a recount is likely to occur within the next few days.
