Florida? Election Problems? NO WAY…
March 11, 2008
You just have to laugh.
It seems The University of Florida has a contraversy concerning student elections, as I read in this Wired article. Apparently, students will sue because online voting wasn’t allowed. The U of F supreme court ruled the online voting unconstitutional since online voting could facilitate bully-voting and peer pressure.
I never really thought of that as a problem until reading the article–especially since we have online voting at Miami. Of course, here, few really care about student gov. elections so I doubt that much coercion of voting occurs on our campus.
