The Student Court decided not to hear a case filed last night to postpone the runoff election scheduled to take place tomorrow and Thursday.

After the complaint was denied, SA Sens. Logan Dobson (CCAS-U), Steve Glatter (Law) and Mohammed Ali (SMHS-G) drafted legislation which if passed would also move the date of the runoff election to after spring break.

The bill would give the Joint Elections Committee — the independent body that oversees SA elections — time to decide who will be on the ballot.

Members of the SA have been pushing to move the date of the runoff election after presidential candidate Kyle Boyer was accused of failing to report items on his expenditure report. SA candidates are required to report the fair market value of all items used for their campaign. The total of these items cannot exceed $1,000 for each presidential candidate.

Boyer did not list on his expenditure report Facebook ads, the use of a friend’s car parked on H Street and a parking ticket placed on the car. The JEC found probable cause for those charges at a meeting Monday night.

Boyer’s trial will be held Wednesday night, the first night of the scheduled runoff election. If Boyer is assessed penalties for at least three of the four charges he is indicted on, he will be removed from the race, automatically making Julie Bindelglass president.

Because Boyer’s case falls on the first day of the runoff election, the bill’s sponsors want to move the date of the election to ensure that the JEC can make a calculated decision and to ensure that students can ultimately choose their own SA president. If the election is moved and Boyer is removed from the ballot, Bindelglass will face off against Nick Polk in the runoff.

The senate meets at 10 p.m. tonight.
