GUSA elections end our long, representative-less nightmare

GUSA election results are in, people. Time to get excited!
After a long week of election previews—and thankfully, plenty of excuses to bring out our favorite blingee—the GUSA Election Commission announced the winners of the elections.
Vox congratulates all of the winners. (And for those of you who ran failed write-in campaigns, take solace in the fact that your comments entertained us.)

Thanks for the love. I’m glad they had to have 6 runoffs to get rid of me.
Currently filming my concession speech. I’ll send it to you all when it’s completed.
9 or 10 votes to become a GUSA senator? When a super-majority of your constituents voted for someone else? At least I know GUSA is serving with the full confidence of the student body.

At Large, Darnall, LXR, and Harbin 6-9 all have wrong totals. Well done, GUSA.
@Idea Man,
Actually GUSA did get it right (except for Harbin 6-9). If you look at all of them you will see what rounds they eliminated people. The numbers listed are the totals for each candidate in the last round that each candidate was in. For example, in LXR, Michelle Kwon was eliminated after round 1 so her 11 votes were split to whomever was ranked #2 by her voters. The 26 & 25 for the other candidates were their totals in round 2, giving you the total number of votes, which was 51. They probably should have listed the totals after every round to make it easier to understand.
