While we can certainly debate the merits of online voting as a policy, that debate is not the one we are having.
Dear UF Supreme Court, you clearly do not deserve to finish your degrees being that you have no comprehension of how the law works. A constitutional amendment allowing online voting was denied Tuesday on the grounds that - wait for it - it was unconstitutional. Let us all shout a resounding, "Duh."By definition, any constitutional amendment is unconstitutional. If it wasn't we wouldn't need to amend anything now would we?

If you've had enough of this on-again-off-again weather, rest assured that Spring Break is now officially one month away. So while you spend your time in class today calculating just how many beers your tax rebate will buy on some sunny beach in Mexico - or just how many will get you through Valentine's Day - join us for this week's edition of…
The debate over Student Government online voting now faces a nearly weeklong standstill.
Online voting for UF Student Government elections is the closest it's been to a reality in three years, but its supporters expect SG officials to block an amendment they have worked to get on the ballot for the upcoming elections on Feb. 26 and 27.
As details of election problems popped up Tuesday, the Floridian tradition of complicating national elections was renewed. Florida Secretary of State Kurt Browning said none of the voting problems reported to his office were anything more than "common, everyday election fare."
An amendment to bring online voting to UF's Student Government elections will appear on the spring ballot in February pending a petition's approval.
