Statement by West Virginia University Student Government Elections Chair Tasha Frazie on status of election returns:

“We greatly appreciate your attendance and participation in this event tonight, however, as a result of multiple complaints and issues brought to the attention of the Elections Chair, we are unable to announce the election results at this time. In order to preserve the integrity of the 2011 Student Government Association election, more time is needed to confirm or reject the validity of the complaints.

“Due to the sensitivity and confidentiality of this matter, we are unable to release any further information at this time. Again, we assure you that this decision has been made with the utmost respect and consideration for all of the election participants and assure you that the preservation of the validity of the election will be exerted with the utmost priority.

“The complete cooperation is absolutely expected from everyone here tonight and all election participants. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
