Day one after the announcement of candidates, and rumor has it<\/p>\n

(and by ‘rumor’ I mean verifiable evidence plus the natural supposition that of course elections officials are in Panic Epic Work Mode at the moment)<\/p>\n

that Chief Elections Officer & CEO of Our Hearts Isabel Ferreras has spent her morning off and on the phone to her staff.\u00a0 Certainly we’ve already seen three\u2014three!\u2014BoG candidates drop out.\u00a0 Goodbye, Peter Stein, AJ Hajir Hajian, and Nader Beyzaei\u2014we hardly knew ye.<\/p>\n

We’ve got the complete list for you after the break, but first, let’s take a little walk down quelle scandale potentiale<\/em> lane, y’all.<\/p>\n

The buzz at beer last night and brunch this morning was triplefold\u2014quadruple if you count the cheap Gallery pitchers\u2014but it boils down to this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Blake Frederick<\/strong>.\u00a0 It’s been too easy lately to forget that our BF came into office as something of a golden boy, hailed by supporters and detractors alike both for his passionate commitment and political credentials.\n
  2. The positions of interest.<\/strong> Although it’s not unusual to see BoG, Senate, and VP External attract a few more competitors than other positions, this year’s International Student Rep hopefuls are almost frighteningly numerous.\u00a0 You guys know this position is non-voting, right?\u00a0 (And Star<\/strong>, you know you submitted all materials without a last name, right?<\/span> you do know? and it’s a thing? oh. cool.)\u00a0 It’s also heartening to see two relative unknowns rounding out the Presidential nominees, although it makes hunting for pictures a heckuva lot harder.\u00a0 Don’t even ask me about typing the tags up for this post.\u00a0 RIDICULOUS.\n

    \"\"

    YOU SEE HOW I SUFFER FOR YOU<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n

  3. The Elections Committee’s (presumed) accountability screed.<\/strong> One of the new features this year will be a PENALTY BOX<\/strong> on the Elections official website.\u00a0 Isabel Ferreras is a formidable woman, as seen here:\n
    \"\"<\/a>

    cower, puny candidates!! leg-biting will be penalized!<\/p><\/div>\n

    and we have no doubt that she won’t hesitate to use this box, which purpose is to daily\u2014publicly!\u2014keep the voting public very aware of any and all “warnings, violations, infractions and penalties.” It’s a move we here at Fuzzy Kitten Unicorn Scandal are looking forward to a little too much, frankly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    BUT WHO ELSE is out there? here are the people we’ll be stalking<\/span> bothering in the name of Fair Game<\/span> Media Coverage for the next month:<\/p>\n
