The results are in: Sue Yang is your new CCSC president, and Cliff Massey and Aki Terasaki have won their respective class council races.
Massey defeated incumbent president AJ Pascua with 64% of the vote, while running mate Eve Phan won the vice-presidency over current 2010 rep Valerie Sapozhnikova. It was not a clean sweep for the Clear Party, though, as Party Party rep candidate Maximo Cubillette will join Clear Party candidates Asher Grodman and Lena Fan as senior class representatives. Current BSO president Ruqayyah Abdul-Karine was the only Clear Party candidate not to win, though she too would have won if the Council had not implemented instant runoff-voting this year.
At the 2012 level, it was a clean sweep for Access Columbia, led by presidential Aki Terasaki and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Chai. They will be joined next year by Kenny Durrell, Brandon Christophe, and Jasmine Senior.
The rest of the candidates ran unopposed, including Yang’s Action Potential Party (Sarah Weiss, Deysy Ordonez, Sana Khalid and Nuriel Moghavem) and incumbent 2011 president Learned Foote’s ticket. The rest of the results, and more helpful graphics, after the jump.

@almost no one... except for the 19 people she slept with this semester. better luck next time shirley…
@Make that 18 I was pretty drunk. We all make mistakes, right?
@Asher really? that guy is a giant tool.
and ruqayyah lost? I’m disappointed in my class right now – parties are idiocy.
happy for eve and maximo, that’s about it.
@Someone Tell Me What has CCSC or ESC done in the past 4 years besides buckle to administrative pressure (ie 40’s and Lerner Pub)?
Off-campus Flex and Pass/D/Fail have been floating around for YEARS and administrators finally got around to doing them, so don’t give me that garbage.
@NOOOOOOOOO I DONT WANT THAT dawson’s creek wannabe TO BE THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS!!!!! stick to frat issues pleaseeeeee
@student govt is a joke. just look at the “campaign ads”, the voter turnout, etc.
@WOO for racist sexidt misogynism in the c;lear
@recount! i wrote in karen woodin for academic affairs. what happened bogner?!? lol
@Angry Black Man YES! PEACE OUT AJ! GO TAKE YOUR RESUME BUILDING ASS BACK TO YOUR DORM SO YOU CAN SIT ON YOUR ASS EVEN MORE.
CLEAR BITCHES.
@how many senate seats were open?
@two 2 senate seats were open
@Dos. Surprised that it was uncontested this year; CC Senate usually has at least 5 candidates…
Hm
@Mugatu EVELYN!!! WE LOVE YOU
@Anonymous *Florida
@Anonymous anyone notice how the numbers don’t add up for 2010 presidential and vice-presidential races?
219+118=/=339 and 226+118=/=337
…maybe i am missing something…
@people two people who voted for president, didn’t cast a vote for VP…not that mysterious…
@Anonymous That’s not what I was pointing out… For example: 226 people voted for Evelyn, 118 people voted for Valerie… 337 votes were counted for VP race… where did the extra 7 votes come from? 118+226 = 344…. 344 =/= 337
@Anonymous As I said maybe I missed something… or maybe the votes were tallied in Flordia rofl…
@... the extra 7 were write-ins?
@Zombie Reagan BRRRRAAAIINNNSSSSS
@Obviously... seven people wrote in candidate names… duh.
@love Cliff!! He is the best yay!
@Normal Person Did Shirley really have to go through an election process to realize everyone hates her guts, from previous posts it seems pretty obvious she has no friends.
@come on shirley is not that bad! if you actually get to know her…
@I'm so excited... This just shows you what a powerful grassroots movement can accomplish at this schools. Sky’s the limit guys. Keep up the good work.
@Anonymous I don’t think it proves anything. This is student government and not a major political movement. Relatively speaking only a handful of students actually voted. I think all it shows it what can happen when a bunch of people write obscene things about anyone they want when they can hide behind the internet.
@GLORY yippie for cliff! thank goodness he won!
@what ever happened to writing in COTTRELL?
no, nobody?
@Maximo The Results of all these elections are somewhat ridiculous, since the voter turn out was substantially less than even a 1/3 of the electorate.
@learned learned foote is NOT amazing
@learned learned foote is amazing and he is going to take over the world some day
@percentages? bwog, what percentage of CC students actually voted in these elections?
@what is wrong with the freshman class?
Where to begin, where to begin.
Jkjk there are some ’12 cuties fsho.
@A 2012 "Cutie" I don’t see how Aki getting elected immediately means there’s something wrong with our class, but maybe you can enlighten me…
@jeez people calm down. nobody cares about CCSC
@disappointed why couldnt all of clear won? wtf.
@oh come on aki terasaki? he’s such a fucking tool, what is wrong with the freshmen class?
@don't hate he’s cool
@its abdul-kariM not kariNE for ruqayyah. you guys have done this ALL WEEK, bwog. it’s not THAT hard.
