Play by the rules

I’d like to express my disappointment with the letter to the editor published Wednesday by Madison Gardner. While I appreciate The Daily Texan giving him the opportunity to provide some closure to this mess of an election, Gardner squandered his chance by again complaining about his perceived persecution. Time after time, he and his running mate have refused to take responsibility for their actions and have given the impression that they felt the rules didn’t apply to them. His entire third paragraph is devoted to “not” expressing how his disqualification for breaking the rules upended democracy as we know it at UT. After seeing the same kind of people always get elected to Student Government, I applaud the Election Supervisory Board showing that election isn’t a free ride; you have to play by the rules.
