Well they cleaned up *some* of the flyers.

Do you think the Judicial Council is going to end up saying the chalking at six separate polling places is really the same violation and not six separate ones? I don't know why I tihnk you'd know, maybe because you've been at so many hearings lately. :)
 

It's certainly possible, but there's nothing from my hearings that suggests that. In my hearings, I was generally asking them to take a rather broad view of many of the by-laws, and they declined to do so. I'm not sure that would correspond to anything here. There isn't much guidance from the by-laws when it comes to counting violations, though, which grants the Judicial Council a great deal of flexibility. Also, the Judicial Council has "equitable power to assure that the punishment levied fits the violation found to occur so as to assure a fair and just result," which gives it even more flexibility.

If I was going to guess, I would guess that SA will get two censures for one violation.
 

Re: Cleanup day.

Here's the deal. After every election, there's a designated cleanup day for the parties to take down all their flyers and crap. If you don't show up, you get one individual censure.

HOWEVER, in general Squelch candidates never show up, not because we're lazy bastards (though that's part of it) but because we don't flyer on campus, and if we do, it's pretty rare.

Basically every single candidate, including independent candidates who didn't even run campaigns, has to come or get a censure, even though 80% of the flyers are Student Action gelatto flyers.

Now since an individual censure is worthless if you haven't done anything else, it's a toothless punishment and no one cares.
