Thomas ’12 wins runoff
Adam Thomas ’12 was elected next year’s Yale College Council treasurer in a closely contested runoff election Thursday, earning 51 percent of the student vote.
Thomas received just 23 more votes than his opponent, Colin Adamo ’10. Although Adamo initially won 40.6 percent of the vote in the three-candidate field, the YCC election committee called for a runoff to decide the winner because Adamo defeated Thomas by a margin of less than 5 percent.
Reached early Friday morning, Thomas expressed excitement about his win. Thomas, who served as chair of the Freshman Class Council...
Why were there any abstentions? There was only one office on the ballot!
Five percentage points.
Have you met Adam Thomas!? He is the last thing from a politician!
As if Wu, Williams and Cheung were not enough for a talentless board, Thomas joined the parody of the YCC!
At least, they match.
Sarcasm.
....nooooooooooo!!!
tragic, especially that it was so close.
I went to the YCC website yesterday on yalestation.org and I couldn't find the the link to vote! The YCC scammed this election! I demand another election, in which students actually get to vote.
YCC is such a tired joke. A candidate who endorsed the other one only lost by 23 votes.
@ post # 1...it IS an unfortunate picture, but I suggest you get to know Adam before you judge. anyone who's ever met Adam for even five minutes would know that your statement is patently false, since he's one of the most genuine people at yale.
@ #1 - You were "inspired" by Adamo's campaign? Sure, it was funny, but that's about it.
@ #3 - Thank you. That bothers me, too. If it was 5%, Adamo would be Treasurer now.
@ #5 - What's new? Of this year's YCC, only Tao and Schofield were standouts.
@ #6 - Surprise, surprise; the only person to run who wasn't a "politician" was Adamo, and that's because HE WAS FORCED to do so. Adam is a good kid, and he has good intentions. If you don't like the people on the YCC or what it's doing, run yourself.
I was being sarcastic in my earlier post. Lol.
@ #12 - About the career politician part, too?
What a tragedy. I was inspired by Adamo's campaign. Look at Adam Thomas's photo: the guy is clearly a career politician.
