In a runoff Law School election for Honor Committee representative held Monday and Tuesday, Randall Warden was declared the winner, with 206 votes to Will Doffermyre's 182. During last week's Law School election -- which took place on paper ballot -- the failure of election officials to check the identification of one of 465 voters led to a discrepancy in the results for the second Honor representative. The University Board of Elections and the Student Bar Association decided to hold an online runoff election for the two runner-up candidates in response to the discrepancy. In the runoff election, 390 students voted for one of two candidates running for the open position. Members of the UBE said they were pleased with voter turnout. In a press release, the UBE attributed the high turnout to the ability of the students to vote from the comfort of their own homes as well as to the reminder e-mail sent out by the SBA to all Law students. The Law School already had been planning to revise its election system before last week's original election.
