BREAKING: Yale College Council Prez Race Comes Down to TWO VOTES, Campaign Continues
We hoped and prayed that Yale’s College Council absurdity wouldn’t end too soon; big personalities, relentless email spam, endorsement-fodder, and ridiculous postering threats galore. Well, be careful what you wish for. CoCo Pannell (our pick) just edged out Jeff Gordon (of baby-fame) by .06% of the electorate: TWO VOTES. That means (oh god) that there’s going to have to be a runoff election, from 9am-9pm on Thursday… The campaign continues! Sharpen your swords and Facebook events ladies and gentleman: this could get ugly.
We’re personally invested: not only are we definitively with CoCo, all of our other endorsed candidates lost. Here’s hoping that’s not a causal connection…
