Letter to the Editor
By Scott Erker, 8 LS
It was truly one of the most amazing feats of political hubris and hypocrisy that the UF Supreme Court could, with a straight face, declare voting over the Internet "unconstitutional."
How can voting over the Internet be more subject to coercion than, say, being at a frat or sorority dinner and having the president say "you better vote tomorrow and here is who we are voting for?"
It is pretty common knowledge that the Greek-dominated SG fears that Internet voting would threatent their monopolistic hold on UF student politics, and that the court would use any rationale possible to hold onto their hegemonic position.
Even if Internet voting was a reality, you can bet SG would do everything in its power to suppress voter turnout because the less the rest of us care, the more power and control they will retain.
