The link from GrumpyGOP is the better-formatted version, but the raw text is also here in the thread posted by DoeoJ:

write in "travis oakley = not guilty" for sbp

3/25/2008 7:00:30 PM

^
I didn't think to put the "= not guilty" part, but I wrote you in for a few positions

btw there's only 4 hours left to vote folks, I'd appreciate your support  

3/25/2008 7:00:43 PM

see, I've gone back and thought about it...

Quote :

"They've ignore he tried to have 1,200 tickets for Campout taken away 30 minutes before Campout started -- and got exposed when the entire email chain to University Administration ended up in the hands of Technician, complete with Bobby claiming Zach Adams supported him when he didn't."

From reading the emails, its true that Mills wanted to reduce the amount of tickets...

Quote :

"I totally agree with you. Zach Adams and I warned the Committee about this decision and explained the necessity to only allow 2,500 students at camp out but they did not understand our reasoning. Hopefully everything works out. Bobby Mills, 4:11pm"

But he doesn't explicitly say that he wanted to eliminate 1,200 tickets from the students. That was Stafford, correct?

Quote :

"Bobby, in case we don't talk before then, I'll see you tonight at the Chef's Challenge. I've talked with Dick Christy again and based on your response, I think the best outcome is to tell SG that 1500 tickets will be allocated through campout and the remainder (approx 1400) will be distributed through the normal system. This will continue the agreement that we have used in past years. See you tonight. Stafford, 4:37pm"

Where's the part where he wanted to eliminate half of the tickets?

I didn't vote for him anyway with the bad press he's gotten that has already been mentioned in the thread, such as the tootsie rolls and other shenanigans, just want to see why you people are so adamant about him wanting to take away half of the campout tickets.

"ThePeter: Where's the part where he wanted to eliminate half of the tickets?"

That part's not in the email, that was in his public statements after Stafford announced his decision (when Bobby told everyone from the people running Campout to the Technician staff that he supported Stafford's decision because he "had nothing to do with Campout")

It wasn't until his "nothing to do with Campout" argument got exposed via that email -- and Zach Adams found out his name was dropped in reference to it -- that Bobby tried an about-face

3/25/2008 7:19:47 PM

bttt,

Greg needs more votes.

3/25/2008 8:51:00 PM

Not much more time... greg probably has plenty of votes, but Bobby Mills could always get more last place votes.

3/25/2008 9:06:29 PM

TGD, your everywhere

3/25/2008 9:07:13 PM

I'll take as many votes as I can get

BUT, if you're torn between voting for me as #1 and voting for Bobby Mills as #5... I'd really prefer you log in to vote Bobby Mills as #5

3/25/2008 9:13:53 PM

AND, Glenn Moraven for Public Defender as #1

3/25/2008 9:14:56 PM

wow, from the sound of the technician article today, there's none of them I want to vote for

3/25/2008 9:18:10 PM

John Mickey is awesome! Though Jay will probably win (he is still good though).

3/25/2008 9:22:24 PM

^^^^It's a good thing no one's trying to run a smear campaign based on Tdub stuff.

3/25/2008 9:26:39 PM

Still over an hour left <3

3/25/2008 9:41:48 PM

I still can't decide which is the lesser of all the evils.

3/25/2008 9:42:27 PM

So, at what time does voting end, and the free-for-all on all the stupid-ass signs littering campus begins?

3/25/2008 9:44:54 PM

Voting is over in 10 minutes. We're sooo fucking close to breaking the TPC record on voter turnout...

[Edited on March 25, 2008 at 10:51 PM. Reason : IOW VOTE NOW PEOPLE!!!]

3/25/2008 10:49:46 PM

I think we will beat total voter turn out from the past it was over 6000 at eight, 24 hr vs 48 hrs

3/25/2008 10:58:18 PM

RESULTS?!?!?!

3/25/2008 11:00:31 PM

tgd if you win im gonna need a favor

3/25/2008 11:00:55 PM

um the meeting is at one I doubt they'll have anything until tomorrow morning

3/25/2008 11:01:43 PM

um yeah like totally

3/25/2008 11:02:45 PM

no way, like totally totally, btw I voted for you jackleg

3/25/2008 11:03:38 PM

i thought the reason we paid $1,800 was so they could get a very accurate unofficial winner, then have the meetings to make it official...

3/25/2008 11:04:37 PM

the tech admins still have to map write-in votes to candidates, take out hte ones like Mickey Mouse, etc -- that's the part that takes awhile

the "unofficial" winner will be known as of 1-2am, and there's 99.9% certainty they'll be the "official" winner too

3/25/2008 11:05:59 PM

thanks, let me know if i win anything

3/25/2008 11:06:09 PM

unless Kenneth, jumps on here and posts I doubt we will get an update until after 1 or 2 am

Does jackleg count as an "ect", or is he legit?

3/25/2008 11:10:43 PM

if it's written in as "jackleg" it'll get lumped in with the "Illegal/Fictitious Votes" -- but we should still be able to see how many votes he gets

3/25/2008 11:23:16 PM

they mapped me to my real name when i "ran" that one year

3/25/2008 11:24:04 PM

Nice. It'll present a semi-accurate count of how much of an effect t-dub had.

^Seriously? Hahaha

[Edited on March 25, 2008 at 11:24 PM. Reason : .]

3/25/2008 11:24:24 PM

yeah. but i had a pretty serious write in thing going on. i got close to 5% of the total vote. i mean thats only a couple hundred but still.

3/25/2008 11:26:31 PM

It'll probably be another hour or so before results are out. 7,024 total votes (only the 2nd time in NCSU history we've broken 7,000 -- 1st time was with the Pirate Captain), they're about 1/2 done on mapping write-ins

3/26/2008 12:20:52 AM

I really dont understand why they do that write-in thing. If someone had wanted to run, they should have filed in time to be on the ballot. And if someone dropped out leaving a position uncontested, then so be it.

Write-ins take time and usually the people that advocate the use of them are the people who just want to snag places from those competition-free runners because they have some sort of hatred towards 'em.

just my view.

3/26/2008 12:29:19 AM

yeah you werent in school when i ran probably.

my whole point in running as a write in was because i wasn't allowed to be on the ballot because i had a disciplinary infraction on my record, and that excluded me

2002? GB16 i think we were pushing for

3/26/2008 12:31:06 AM

I wonder how many Elvis votes we got for SBP.

3/26/2008 1:37:14 AM

They're having issues getting the tabulation to actually come up -- the vote.ncsu.edu server is still processing the preferential ballots for all the races, and has been for about 20 minutes now

3/26/2008 1:41:29 AM

Fix it, Greg.... you're a computer science major.

3/26/2008 1:41:52 AM

lol, call in deep blue

3/26/2008 1:42:13 AM

instant run-off......bad idea in my opinion

3/26/2008 1:44:35 AM

wait is it doing a runoff with each write-in candidate included?

3/26/2008 1:46:02 AM

hmmm....maybe Elvis will win
