It only took a dozen bagels, four bottles of soda, two pizza pies and one box of Joe.
Despite the marathon night, the results are in.
Eight sleepy members of the Student Association elections committee left the Old University Union at 4:15 this morning after six hours of counting the 2,280 paper ballots.
Wednesday and Thursday were SA e-board elections. Here’s what the committee found …
Presidential candidates Adam Amit and Jonathan Lasala ended the night neck-and-neck for the lead, with Amit ahead only by about 1 percentage point.
Neither of them had the 40 percent of the vote required to win the election. So the two hopefuls will runoff for the seat on Tuesday 1:30 to 7:30 p.m.
“Most people campaigning have ran the sprint, I’ve tried to run the marathon, taking it slow and steady,” Amit said. “I look forward to the runoff and I know however it turns out, the SA will be in good hands.”
Meanwhile, Lasala’s campaign manager Paul Liggieri let out his battle cry.
“We want to implore everyone to come out and support him on Tuesday. I believe infallibly and undoubtedly that Jonathan Lasala will prevail as the SA president,” he said.
Financial vice president candidates Matthew Allwood and Abid Hossain will also runoff Tuesday.
“I’m going to get as many out there to vote as possible,” Allwood said. “Same thing I was doing, holding signs again, nothing grand.”
Hossain said he’ll try to reach out to more groups and increase fliering.
Jared Kirschenbaum will reign as the new executive vice president.
“Just an awesome feeling right now,” he said. “Basically all the hard work has paid off over the past few weeks.”
Taking over Peter Spaet’s vice president of academic affairs will be Dan Rabinowitz.
“Very happy, took a lot of work, worked all year for it,” Rabinowitz said.
Aaron Cohn had twice as many votes as only opponent Nico Meyer in the race for vice president of programming.
He’ll have a seat in the executive board chamber with the newly elected vice president of multicultural affairs Ricky Da Costa.
Voters also approved amendments to the SA constitution, which included clarifications and changes to powers of e-board positions.
The Student Assembly must vote approval Monday to make the results official.
