Final thoughts before voting begins

Voting starts at 9 am! Log onto your my.american portal to cast your vote either tomorrow or Wednesday before 5 pm.

Here are some things I want to mention before it all begins:

Endorsements: Many more have come out in the past 24 hours. I would like to congratulate Seth Rosenstein, since he is my candidate of choice, on receiving the endorsement of the President of the Undergraduate Business Association. Alexander Feld is not exactly Mike Mayer, but that is not a bad one to pick up. Also, the lion himself, Steve Dalton, endorsed Anthony Dunham. I would say that, after me, that is the second most important endorsement you can pick up. Apparently The Eagle endorsed him too. Probably a bad sign, I hear they are on a bit of a losing streak.

BOE Regulations: They are absolutely unbelievably stupid. At some point I will write a very lengthy post about how ridiculous some of them are. Apparently, you can't send any email, to anyone, on behalf of a candidate. So if I were running, I couldn't email my friends, from my personal address book, to remind them to vote.

If Nirvana loses in a close election, that would be an absolute disaster. The fact that she is not on the ballot is so incredibly annoying. If she comes in second by a few votes as a write-in, you could easily say that the incompetence of the BOE and Judicial Board cost her the election. Not only does she miss out on being President, she misses out on the $8,500 that comes with the job. And, the Senate might then have good reason to not certify the results, and what a shitstorm that would be.

I think I am beginning to lose my hair.

CORRECTION: This post previously stated that the President earns $10,000 rather than $8,500. That is wrong.
