Mr. & Miss Blackline Results

On Thursday November 19, 2009, the College Democrats will be given three bags of paper votes for the Mr. and Miss Blackline competition: two bags of female votes and one bag of male votes. A photo will be taken for verification and the president of College Democrats, Ian Lauer will sign Blackline’s copy of this statement.

The votes will be counted as such: One paper vote with an email address (or the words “Blackline”) written on the back is worth one vote for a respected contestant. Votes that do not have email addresses (or “Blackline”) written on the back are only worth ½ vote for a respected candidate.

Once the paper votes have been counted, each contestant’s total will be multiplied by .75 (the paper vote is worth 75% of the total vote). The College Democrats will return the results to the Editor of Blackline once they have finished counting the votes.
