@Tigrr I want to pounce
@butch oxendine The American Student Government Association tracks voter turnout in student government elections. The average for private institutions is 15-20%. So Barnard is double that.
@bc10 actually, there was ~49% turnout 2 years ago. good job, spec.
@smart. sherlock. the winners are all girls because it’s a girl’s school and only girls ran.
@hooray Giselle!
@why vote at all, then?
@sherlock if they ‘chose randomly’, why are the winners all girls?
@person fuck yeah kim wu
@Nonsense Barnard is a school for strong, beautiful women. Clearly the school must be led by the strongest and most beautiful of the lot.
I think these elections are a sham and the process ought to be replaced by a wrestling match and a beauty pageant.
@bc12 i love that you can tell that most people just chose randomly.
@why would you say people chose randomly? who hasn’t earned their spot? Seriously, I’m wondering. I go to CC.
@another bc12 i chose randomly.
