According to information just obtained by CRDaily.com, Representative Emily Danforth (District 8 ) has filed suit against the Board of Elections and Student Body President Jasmin Jones for failing to set a date for an election and hold such an election within the thirty day period after a seat in Congress has been vacated.
Such a vacancy has been in existence since April 7th, 2009, with no action taken on the part of either the BOE or President Jones in accordance with Title VI.
Her action was filed October 8th, and the defendants have yet to respond by filing their answer. Representative Danforth’s complaint may be viewed here.
YES
YES
I was contacted by the defense counsel this evening. Apparently a special election date has finally been set for November 5th. I withdrew my complaint from the Student Supreme Court as the specific issue is now moot. I cannot find anything in the Student Code that codifies when and how the BOE is to announce the date for an election. Do you know if that information exists? Maybe that is something we can work on in Congress? This is progress, I think.
I love the word "moot"
And, it is progress! Good work.
