ESC election results are out, and the new senior class president is Heather Lee, who won (uncontested) with a whopping 191 votes. Lee will be joined by Joffre Andrade as VP and Stanley Chen and Varun Gulati as Class Representatives.
The 2011 Class President will be Kamal Yechoor, with candidates from his party, Synergy, filling in the rest of the 2011 positions. The Fu My Life party won a similar landslide in the 2012 elections, making Judy Kim your sophomore President.
Find the announcement email after the jump (Bwog has inserted in parentheses all available vote tallies for both winning and defeated candidates).

Hi Everyone!!
The time to release the election results is here!! But, before I disclose the winners, I would like to thank each and every candidate for dedicating your time and interest towards this election.

@Hurrayyy YAY Varun!
@Angry Black Man ESC does nothing anyway. In fact, student council does nothing and then takes all the credit when Columbia institutes a policy it was thinking about years ago. ESC is the charmin that wipes my ass and the shit from comes from it. It also sucks that Austin didn’t win. Goes to show how student council is (as always) A CLIQUE! Thus, to finish, middle finger to my new student government board.
@Eek! Please don’t mug me angry black man! Or cross me up with your sick basketball moves.
PS. You a city slicker!
@Kamal's real name is Toolbags McGee

@NOOOO HOW IS AUSTIN NOT wIN??????????????
@NOOOOOO HOW IS AUSTIN NOT WIN?????
YEHARGGH
@191 votes and uncontested? Not bad
@heather... shouldn’t you be doing more presidential stuff and *not* posting on bwog?
@and they’re meant to be released. Don’t you want to know the percentages?
@WOOOO YAY JUDY!
Kamal eats babies.
@why not In a previous ESC election, one of the candidates for an uncontested position only got 40% of the total votes while other candidates for uncontested positions got 80%. We have the right to know how much public support an elected representative has. Plus you shouldn’t be running for student council in the first place if you want to avoid “embarrassment” in campus media.
@not necessary Agreed with #7…it is not necessary to post the number of votes…
@disagree i don’t see why the hell not. the point of transparency IS to disclose things people might not feel comfortable disclosing…and ESC is already way to secretive and insular. KUDOS to Bwog
@ummm The email only had names. The numbers generally are kept private from media to avoid embarrassing anyone who may not have gotten all the votes they could have…
Not cool, Bwog
@well It’s not like Bwog broke into the SGO office and stole the numbers. Obviously someone inside ESC released them.
@c'mon If they can’t stand the public knowing how many votes they got, they shouldn’t be running in the first place. It’s bad enough that ESC e-board elections are internal; suck it up and let the vote tallies be known.
@yup 2011 will be useless… 2010 will be good I think
@nope Kamal is all man.
@SEAS 2011 & 2010 will be just as useless as they have been for the past two years now…hooray.
@Baby Protector KAMAL THE BABY EATER CAN’T WIN!!!!!
THINK ABOUT OUR CHILDREN!!!!
@Her party? Kamal? Female?
@bwog bwog just called Kamal a girl…”The 2011 Class President will be Kamal Yechoor, with candidates from her party, Synergy”
hahahaha
