And you thought the SCSU elections were crazy...

My friend Peggy is a journalism student at Sheridan College in Oakville. Recently, the Sheridan Student Union Inc. had their elections. Peggy told me something very curious about what happened when she went to vote:

She was told to write her name on her ballot.

Yes. Names. On ballots. What, followed by, the fuck, were they thinking?

This led to an investigation into the elections that brings to light some serious problems with planning and policy at SSUI. You can read all of it at Peggy's blog, Soup Is Good Food. There was a lot of confusion and in the end, it's possible that up to 500 ballots were thrown out. The article will run in the Sheridan Sun.

Hooray for democracy.
