Hand recount shows Blair

retiring chef
It appeared after the 401-89
landslide in last year's SGA
presidential election that there was
no doubt that Jen Miles and Clint
Skillen had defeated Demian Blair
and Mike Frawley. But an
unofficial hand recount done by the
Bacon shows that the results should
have been different.
Despite the 312-vote deficit that
Blair/Frawley had lost the election
by, doubt surfaced on their
campaign team that their ticket had
really lost the election. The team
claimed that there were many paper
ballots turned in to the SGA Office
during the hours of the election,
which would likely give Blair the
edge.
SGA officials claimed that the
paper ballots were not filled out in
#2 pencils, which meant that,

according to their constitution, the
votes couldn't be counted. Despite
efforts made by the Blair/Frawley
campaign team to get these votes
counted, SGA claimed it was
unconstitutional and wouldn't be
allowed.
Blair/Frawley appealed the
decision to Behrend's j -board,
consisting of nine Greek members.
They lost the vote 8-1 with the one
vote coming from an undercover
Bacon reporter pretending to be
Greek.
Blair's concession speech was
inevitable, as he congratulated
Miles for a well-fought election.
Frawley, on the other hand, shared
his thoughts through an article filled
with profanity and Greek bashing.

The ballots were just made
available to the media. After one
recount, the Bacon saw the Blair and
Frawley had gained four votes,
cutting the deficit to 308 votes.
Upon further review, the Bacon
found that specs of lead made from
filling in a vote for Miles, had made
their way to Blair's name. The SGA
Constitution states that "any vote
that is indistinguishable goes to the
person contesting the election."
These 153 votes would then be
switched from the Miles column to
Blair's. The lead was down to just
2 votes.
Finally,the Bacon found that three
ballots had holes punched in them
for Miles. According to the SGA
Constitution, "any person who votes

by punching a hole in the ballot
automatically has their vote
switched to the other candidate for
being so stupid."
That final observation proves that
Blair should have won the election
by one vote. Blair stated, "I knew
that my campaign posters, emails,
ads, computer messages, phone
calls, campaign flyers slipped under
students' doors, and Greek
disenfranchisement had to have
paid off. I'm just disappointed that
these results hadn't materialized
earlier."
SGA is currently coming up with
a new system of voting that will
more accurately distinguish the
intent of the voters. Butterfly ballots
are to go into effect for next week's
election. SGA figures it will give
the underdog more of a chance of
pulling out the upset.

In a recent agreement with the
courts, Jennifer Lopez, a.k.a. "J
-Lo,"
is now scheduled to appear at
Behrend on April 19 in place of
Shaggy and Baby Sham. The
announcement follows a series of
hearings that took place in Sandusky,
Ohio, after alleged stalker Neil
Makadia, assistant photo editor for
the Berhend Bacon, was caught
armed with a slingshot at Cedar Point
where Lopez was performing.
Lopez's lawyers stated in a recent
press conference that Makadia has
been following Lopez since January
of 2000. Photos of Makadia, taken by
Lopez's personal bodyguard Mike
Frawley, were presented in court as
evidence. Makadia was spotted in
Lopez's pool, her dressing room, and
the Grammy's, where Makadia,
dressed as Lopez's former beau Sean
"Puffy" Combs, assaulted Lopez's
bodyguards with a pool cue and then
ran to Lopez, holding her in his grasp.
Lopez, not wanting to create a scene,
smiled as the paparazzi admired her,
and then turned towards Makadia,
yelling, "Get your damn hands off of
me!"
Makadia appeared in court dressed
in the same white suit he had sported
at the Grammys, this time also adding
a pair of sunglasses similar to those
Combs frequently wears. As Makadia
sat on the stand, he would
periodically stand up and shout, "J-
Lo! I want to have your love child!"
After twenty minutes on the stand,
Judge Robert Speel became frustrated
and had Makadia removed from the
court room in shackles. The trial
continued as Makadia was forced to
sit in the judge's quarters and watch
old New Kids on the Block videos
repeatedly until he calmed down.
After nine days in court, a
frustrated Judge Speel decided that
Makadia is a lost cause. He told the
court that if Makadia was
incarcerated, it is likely he would
bounce off the walls continuously
making horny monkey sounds, hence
driving the other prisoners to suicide.
If he was let free without punishment,
he would continue to stalk Lopez,
thus interfering with her weekly

Speel ordered Lopez to perform at
Penn State Berhend in place of
Shaggy, with Makadia as her personal
escort. However, it was also insisted
on that Makadia wear a straightjacket
at all times while within 1500 yards
of Lopez.
Surprisingly, Lopez was not
terribly upset with the verdict.
