"The rules are pretty clear that two of the expellable offenses are overspending the campaign limit and any ad-boardable offense," said current council president Noah Z. Seton '00.
Despite his previous claims, he said that Driskell and Burton were not over the spending limit. Rather, he said, all the EC members had been confused after a long and stressful night of tabulating election results.
Driskell and Burton could be redeemed, he said, not because they returned the goods that exceeded the limit, but because of the type of goods that would have brought them over.
After a day of saying otherwise, and after Driskell's landslide victory, the EC agreed with the candidates' interpretation of the rules.
The donations in question included leftover buttons that Burton retrieved from the office of the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters' Alliance (BGLTSA). The Driskell-Burton campaign covered the buttons with stickers and gave them to their supporters.
