The winning ticket in the University of Colorado’s spring student government election is at risk of being unseated following the results of a hearing on campaign infractions held on the Boulder campus last week.

A six-student panel heard a variety of accusations April 12 from all three parties that ran in this month’s student government election: Ally, Ignite and Revolution.

Many of the allegations — which included bribery by way of cookie cakes, pizzas and flowers delivered to several sororities and fraternities — were lobbed at Revolution, the party that, according to unofficial results, won the election.

After deliberating for two days, the panel ruled that Revolution had committed enough infractions to be disqualified from the election.

Revolution is appealing the panel’s decision and accusing its opponents of trying to steal the election.

“It’s quite simple: Revolution won and these opposing tickets lost,” Revolution campaign manager Marilyn Alexander said Tuesday. “It is completely outrageous that the losing campaigns have now decided to file a bunch of complaints to try to disqualify the entire Revolution ticket and overturn the results of the spring student government elections.”

Students voted earlier this month to elect new student body presidents (CU has three, called tri-executives) and new representatives-at-large for the student government legislative council.

Revolution swept all of the available seats.

According to the student government election commissioner, students cast 2,253 votes for Revolution’s tri-executive ticket compared to 1,937 votes for the Ignite tri-executive ticket, a difference of 316 votes.

The Ally party earned 816 votes for its slate of tri-executives.

“Rather than simply honoring and respecting the will of the voters, other tickets and their supporters have resorted to trying to steal this election by attempting to cancel out literally thousands of votes cast by our fellow CU students,” Alexander said.

If the student government appellate court, which has two weeks to issue a ruling, upholds the panel’s findings, the runner-up Ignite party’s tri-executive candidates would win the election by default, according to Dillon Elliott, student government election commissioner.

The appellate court’s ruling is final, he said.

Katey Haas, Ignite campaign manager, said unseating Revolution’s tri-executive candidates was never her party’s goal.

Instead, Ignite wanted to shine a light on potential malfeasance.

“The point of what we were doing was making sure this election was fair,” Haas said. “It was about saying this (behavior) is not OK and making sure that other people know that this is not OK.”

She said it’s unfortunate that the election fallout has gotten personal, considering candidates and volunteers from all three parties know each other. Many are friends, she said.

“It’s become kind of a mess, to be honest,” Haas said. “We really didn’t want it to come to this.”
