  1. The comparison between the vote totals in the Presidential race and the Minority at-Large race isn’t valid since voters can select two candidates for the Minority at-Large seat (essentially doubling the turnout in that race over the number of unique voters).

    1. Thank you for your comment, I think that we could still benefit by analyzing and reevaluating our election structure. I understand the logic that voters in the minority liaison race essentially had two 1st-place votes to give whereas the voters in the presidential election only had one. However, that doesn’t change the fact that more people checked a box next to Gilbert’s name than did next to Stefanko’s, and Gilbert didn’t have the benefit of having votes redistributed after the first round like Stefanko did.
