re: Rick Perry Calls Texas A&M Student Election a ‘Mockery’

This cost him votes? Wouldn't just demanding he file a new finance report make more sense?

I wouldn't want to win the election this way, but I'm sure his opponent has no qualms about it. Participation trophies are all the rage these days

And here is one of the "follow the law," and "if you don't like it, change it" posters.

Well it appears they followed the law, which is an automatic disqualification for a failure to report.

Although now I know too much about A&M election regulations, and weird obsessions with class rings so maybe lawlessness would be a good thing there.

If a gay kid won the vote he would not be dismissed over glowsticks. Cmon dude this is 2017.

Why not? It would be a clear disqualification, and in that case, the other student would actually have a legal case.

And this was my point. What you're saying is unprovable, since it didn't occur, nor does there appear to be any precedent to even make an argument. So you have to resort to this as your evidence:

Well a lawyer has been hired on one side so we will figure out what comes of this in the coming months.

Sure but based on the available information, he has no case. He had a judicial hearing so he had due process so that's off the table.

And the discrimination claim is strange since he includes "racial" and both candidates are clearly white. Besides, the unless reporting finances by the specified time discriminates Christians and heterosexual, which is almost certainly not the case, then I don't see how that stands up.

Beside between the other 2 candidates (other than the eventual winner), Christian and heterosexual is probably covered and they were apparently didn't have a problem following the law.

But it is funny that it's all because of glow Sticks which seemed popular in middle school, not college.

Then there are students claiming Brooks used items in his promotional video that were not reported, yet no charges from the SGA were brought against him.

---

Well there is a violations reporting page. It gives a spreadsheet of all reported violations, the decision, and justification. If those weren't reported, then the SGA is probably a lot like the PGA after the cards have been signed and verified. You can't see a replay of the masters a few months later and report that a previously unseen penalty occured and should be accessed.

Like I said, we will see how it plays out over the coming months.

My nerdy self is interested, but will forget. So if you remember, feel free to update me.

That's great. No one ever sells their ring, so there's that.

OMlandshark sure seems like a joy to be around.

We get it. Y'all hate TAMU and wish your beloved tu was here instead. You want everyone to be "normal" and just like you. tu would fit better because they are so much more like you. Too bad y'all are stuck with us. Please forgive us.

Perry has some metrosexual homosexual tendencies himself. The fact that he went to A&M is one clue.

I'm aware about preset stones.

I noticed you hadn't mentioned that you ever HAVE sold one of your jewelry items. I assure you, I have purchased and maintained insurance on several pieces of my wife's jewelry. They're all appraised at excellent value, and it's all complete bullshite. The only people who are going to pay me retail replacement value on them is the insurance company doing the appraisal.
