Western University elections sabotaged
Voters asked to choose Justin Bieber’s haircut in "erection"
A hacker at Western University has sabotaged the University Student Council elections by asking voters to pick Justin Bieber’s haircut, suggesting "Selena Gomez is wonderful" and by renaming the process the "University erection," reports the Western Gazette. It was noticed on Valentine’s Day and online voting was shut down. The vote tallies weren’t hacked, say USC officials, but the two days of polls will be thrown out and a new vote is forthcoming, writes the London Free Press.
