Krumpak, Berg issued minor violation

Miami's Associated Student Government (ASG) Elections Committee issued a minor violation to the Kevin Krumpak and Amy Berg ticket on Wednesday evening.

According to the committee's press release, a member of ASG was using the ASG listserv, a resource available only to their position, to encourage voters to vote for the Krumpak/Berg ticket.

Section five of the Associated Student Government election rules states that, "no campaign material may be posted on any listserv of and/or affiliated listserv of ASG" and "all candidates are responsible for the actions of their staff members … A staff member is defined as any person engaging in an open campaigning on behalf of the candidate"

A senior member of the ASG cabinet said that according to the committee's knowledge, Krumpak and Berg were not aware the person was sending an email on behalf of their campaign.

While a minor violation is just a warning, the elections committee takes it into account when punishing candidates who receive a second, more severe violation.
