Interesting observation: Despite the fact that the Judiciary race was open to the same number of people that the at-large race was, the at-large still got far more people voting, a difference representing over 5% of the people on campus. All three candidates were able to move an incredible number of people to vote today; I can’t think of a more controversial and widely discussed election, maybe not even the Gray/Kang presidential race.
