Many woke surprised. Some
contemplated the early election re
turns, while others just longed to
put the election behind them.
“I went to bed with the impres
sion that Bush was winning, but I
woke up hoping that Gore had
won,” said Annie Hummert, a soph
omore women’s studies major.
Hummert is just one of the many
University students who voted in
Tuesday’s presidential election
only to discover that as of Wednes
day, they still didn’t know the re
sults.
Final results are contingent
upon the ongoing recount of elec
tion ballots in Florida. Officials are
expected know the results by 5
p.m. Eastern time today.
“It is exciting because this is the
first major election I have voted
in,” Hummert said.
Hummert supported Gore main
ly because of his stance on
women’s issues.
“If Bush wins, I think I’m going
to move to Canada,” she said jok
ingly.
Other University students are
also awaiting election results with
some apprehension.
“I am surprised by how close it
is,” said Beverly Ajie, a senior biol
ogy major. “I voted for Nader, but
seeing how close it is, maybe I
shouldn’t have.”
As of Wednesday evening, Nad
er had received 5 percent of the
vote in Oregon and 3 percent of the
vote nationally.
“I wanted to vote for someone
different,” said John-Paul Dull, a
journalism and English major.
“That’s why I voted for Nader.’’The
small number of votes that Nader

captured nationally disappointed
some University students.“I was
really wishing that [Nader] would
have gotten more votes,” said Mike
Shuman, a pre-journalism major.
“But the small margin between
Gore and Bush made it very excit
ing, a perfect way to have an elec
tion.”
Some students who watched
election coverage into the wee
hours of the morning may have de
scribed the election as “frustrat
ing” instead.
“First they gave Florida to Gore
and then they took it away, then
they gave it to Bush and then they
took it away, and now they still
don’t knovy. It’s really annoying,”
said,Katie Hultquist, aiine arts ma
jor. “I think that they should get rid
of the Electoral College and go
with the popular vote.”
But for some voters it was the
constant projections - right or
wrong - that kept the race exciting.
“I think the projections by the
media really kept the race sus
penseful,” said Ehsan Seyedhossi
ni, a junior bio-logy major.
Another element that kept the
race tense was the controversy
concerning the closeness of the
race in Florida.
“I just think it’s a little suspi
cious that Bush’s brother is the
governor of Florida and things are
going on down there with missing
ballot boxes and everything,” said
Morgan Hager, a fine arts major.
