The more official-sounding reason for the reversal, which leaked out later in some way, was that they decided with legal counsel that they're not allowed to disqualify a candidate during voting. But rather than publicly admit they made a mistake in not actually qualifying every candidate on the ballot before opening the polls, they danced the no-blame jig, announced the winners, and scurried off. Or so I heard. I might be giving them the benefit of the doubt in assuming they know their own rules.
Shadiest moments in recent ASUCD history: 1. Bledsoe's destruction of the ASUCD Supreme Court 2. Rob Roy's disqualification 3. "Just vote for the people in the yellow shirts."
