...night of Nov. 19, when the UC Election Commission decided to "de-certify" the results of the presidential election released that night, leaving the student body in confusion and the decision pending. Less than an hour later, a message signed off by then-UC Vice President Kia McLeod '10 was sent from the official UC presidential e-mail address, stating that then-vice presidential candidate Eric N.

Hysen '11 had accessed the official voting software and tampered with the vote tally. In fact, McLeod merely wrote—in conjunction with "an underlying concern about the validity of the voting process"—that Hysen "might still have" access to the voting software...
