The voting was swift and the results decisive. There will be no run-offs.
Rich Tao '10 walked away from a crowded field filled with his close friends Wednesday evening, claiming a whopping 45.2 percent to claim the title of Yale College Council president-elect. Harrison Marks '10 and Katrina Landeta '10 lagged behind, finishing with 34.2 percent and 20.6 percent of the vote, respectively.
Further down the ticket, it was a triumphant night for student-government incumbents, with YCC or Freshman College Council-based candidates claiming victories over their outsider opposition.
Incumbent Vice President Emily Schofield '09 handily defeated challenger Jarret Burks '10 in a landslide, 69.5 percent to 30.5 percent.
