BREAKING NEWS: Validity of Voting Process Questioned in UC Presidential Election

By Melody Y. Hu, Crimson Staff Writer November 19, 2009

Bowman and Hysen surged ahead after this recount, ending up with 1,826 votes to Hayward and Zhang’s 1,781, Seiler said.

Bowman and Hysen’s campaign focused on pressing the administration to make budget cuts more transparent and finding immediate, low-cost ways to improve student life at Harvard, such as putting many student services online.

CORRECTIONS

An earlier version of the Nov. 20 news article "BREAKING NEWS: Vote-Rigging Alleged in UC Presidential Election" gave an incorrect middle initial for the UC Election Commission Chair. His name is Brad A. Seiler ’10, not Brad T. Seiler ’10.

The version also gave an incorrect number for the initial reported vote margin between the two major tickets. In the initial, reported tally, Bowman-Hysen had a 45-vote lead over Hayward-Zhang—not a 46-vote lead.

The version also had an inaccurate title: "BREAKING NEWS: Vote-Rigging Alleged in UC Presidential Election." There were no allegations of vote-rigging, but rather concerns about the validity of the voting process. The title has been changed to reflect the inaccuracy.
