Every year after the dust set­tles from the insanely bor­ing ASUW elec­tions, “they” pub­lish a doc­u­ment that con­tains all of the vote. While most stu­dents just don’t vote, some dit­fully punch their vir­tual bal­lots for who­ever is run­ning from the Greek sys­tem. The rest will take advan­tage of the write-in sys­tem. Here are a few examples:

ASUW Pres­i­dent

• Hot­tie Sarah Chow
• Homer Simp­son
• Jake Locker (Two Votes)
• Luke Sky­walker
• You don’t deserve my vote

Vice-President

• ???
• any­one but her
• ASUW sucks
• Bat­man (Two Votes)
• Chuck Nor­ris
• Dino Rossi
• Chris­tine Gregoire
• Dubs (The husky mascot)
• m00t
• Nikky Souther­land (Tied for third with 10 votes!)
• NOT Madeleine McKenna (Four Votes-Eventual Win­ner and Only Can­di­date on Ballot)
• Ronald Rea­gan
• Yoda

Com­mu­nity Relations

• Jesus Christ
• No Con­fi­dence
• Not Tunny Vann (4 votes)
• six year old would do a bet­ter job than you
• Vladimir Lenin

Diver­sity Efforts

• Black girl handed pink flyer in odegaard
• Roberto, Destroyer of Men

Other Worth­less Positions

• A block of Swiss Cheese
• Any­one Else
• Jason wrote a nasty Face­book note
• this whole elec­tion has been a waste of time
• William Shat­ner
• Ben­der Bend­ing Rodraguez
• Darth Vader
• Mag­gie Bennett’s Mom
• The foun­tain ducks
• I am really worried…
• Girl you Sexy
• Ran­dom COBOL Guru
• Yo, fuck Kyle Fuller

There were also votes that seemed to fol­low a trend:

• The Simp­sons Voter: Always voted for  Simp­sons Character
• Bas­ket­ball Voter: Voted for UW Bas­ket­ball Players
• Dubbs: Voted for The Mascot
• The Com­plainer: This voter always made fun of the election
• Bat­man: Every position
• Cam­pus Squir­rels: Usu­ally the sec­ond place can­di­date in all positions
• “Andrew P.D.G. Everett” Has one vote in every posi­tion. I sus­pect he voted for himself.
• The “NOT” crowd: They put “not” in front of who­ever was running.

An inter­est­ing point is that out of all the votes Hillary, Obama, McCain and oth­ers got last year, Obama was the only one with one vote. And I mean one vote!
