There were even close election
results in last year's Student Government
race.
In Senate District 7, the last
two senators elected were separated
by only two votes.
In Senate District 5, the last
two elected were tied, and the
candidate in the next place who did
not win was not far behind.
The disappointing numbers from
last year's election was the number
of students who voted for the top
three offices. ^
