While failing to turn in several voter registration forms on time is completely irresponsible, belittling Tufts Votes' intentions will not solve anything. Thursday's editorial ("Tufts Votes should be held accountable for its irresponsibility") charges that Tufts Votes and affiliated groups used "University money irresponsibly" and treated voter registration as "just another activity to list on a resume."
This is offensive to the many students who volunteered in earnest to register as many Tufts students as possible. A few individuals' mistakes do not warrant such slandering of entire groups. Nor should honest mistakes be construed as disregard of the importance of voting.
If you want Tufts Votes to be held accountable, you should be constructive and suggest how it can be, instead of flinging false accusations.
