Day seventeen — Blog the photogs

Corey Stanford/Gazette

So yeah, Andrew Forgione is your next University Students’ Council president. Read the news story here and my column on his win here.

Forgione and his team campaigned their asses off until the bitter end, even deploying the tried and true campaign tactic of getting someone — an utter hack, by the way — to report that the opponent was ahead in the polls earlier in the day. It wasn’t necessary — Basu Roy and Salari’s votes combined couldn’t overtake Forgione — but it shows just how far Forgione’s team was willing to go for the win. You can’t fault a guy who does everything he can to secure victory. Don’t hate the player, and so on.

All I do is write

The Gazette’s unstoppable photography duo of Nyssa Kawahara and Corey Stanford have been doing a tremendous job of documenting this democratic debacle through stunning visuals the past two weeks. They’re both immensely talented and this blog would be nothing without their wonderful work featured at the top of every entry. I’m more than honoured to offer some choice selections from their USC elections portfolios.
