Senate elections a tie; three voted to TCUJ

The rather-routine process of electing new Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senators to fill vacated seats took an interesting turn yesterday. Once the polls closed at 7:30 p.m., Elections Board (ELBO) began to tabulate the votes, slowly reaching a surprising conclusion. Neither Paul Fridman nor Charlie Needelman won the sole open junior seat in the Senate, as the 40 votes cast by members of the junior class went 20 for Fridman, 20 for Needelman - a tie.
