AUS Elections…not over yet?

This just came into my inbox…I have no time to ana­lyze it now…but spec­u­late away! To whom it may con­cern: I would like to form­ally announce my com­plaint against the res­ults of the 2010 Arts Under­gradu­ate Soci­ety Pres­id­en­tial elec­tions.  I believe that the votes from the online por­tion of the bal­lots were not accur­ately reported […]

Thoughts on the AUS Presidential race and the AUS Referndum

Accord­ing to the AUS elec­tions Twit­ter (@auselections), Ingrid Nilson has just dropped out of the race for Arts AMS Rep­res­ent­at­ive, leav­ing us with six can­did­ates run­ning for five seats (and one of those can­did­ates is a joke can­did­ate).
The lack of com­pet­it­ive races in this elec­tion is very dis­ap­point­ing to me. Not only is there a […]

AUS Elec­tions debates are now pos­ted! You can find them here: http://ubcvotes.ca/debates (and com­pare them with my liveb­log from yes­ter­day if you so choose!)
I will post more later (likely a more detailed exam­in­a­tion of some of the con­tested positions…perhaps the pres­id­en­tial race).
Until later!
Love and kisses,

AUS Positions for Dummies (or non-hacks)

As prom­ised in my last post, here is a break­down of what each AUS pos­i­tion (IMO) ACTUALLY does (this art­icle will not con­tain any code cita­tions, I’m high­light­ing the main points for each pos­i­tion from my exper­i­ence):
I will do this in point form because I dis­like read­ing blocks of text and will assume that you […]

Preliminary thoughts on AUS Elections

So the AUS Elec­tions Can­did­ate list was pos­ted yes­ter­day to much excite­ment (a lot of which was prob­ably my own…I think I might have tweeted it from the @ubcAUS account before @auselections announced it!)
Here is the can­did­ate list with my pre­lim­in­ary thoughts on the races and can­did­ates:
Pres­id­ent:
This should be an inter­est­ing race! I’m excited to […]
