No shade in sight, you stand at the bus stop. The wretched RTS app lies: listing bus five as minutes away. But you’re on campus and the GPS location of the vehicle proclaims your chariot is chugging along on Archer Road. Being the genius you are, you conclude there is no way the bus is as close as it says it is, so you go to Starbucks to get the sickly sweet, bright pink tea.

SG must uphold online voting

By Alfredo Ortiz | May 20, 2019

The April 11th showdown at the UF Student Government Supreme Court was a milestone in the history of online voting regardless of whether or not it was successful. The argument itself was not about whether online voting should be legal, but rather if the Supreme Court had the power to recount votes in a way that would make it illegal (namely, counting abstentions as votes against). However, the case of whether online voting is still legal despite the 2016 decision has yet to be made.
