The voters have eaten, and John Kerry has won. In recognition of this year’s election, bakers from Bon Appétit — the University’s contracted food service provider — made cookies shaped like donkeys and elephants, representing the two major political parties. The cookies were then sold at various outlets around campus, giving students the chance to vote via cookie sales. Despite unsubstantiated rumors of voter fraud and long lines at the polling places, Kerry came out the clear winner, with 1,374 cookies in his favor. George W. Bush managed 1,162. Those results are expected to stand, as a recount is impossible — the evidence has been eaten!
