How do you know it's "progress" if there has never been anyone not affiliated with the machine? What if this new guy sucks?

Because it shows that the students actually give a frick about the SGA. The main reason why the machine backed candidates won every year was mainly due to the apathetic nature of the independent students who outnumber the Greeks (even though it doesn't feel like the greeks are in the minority here).

This election was different. You could feel it. People actually gave a shite this year. Different frats and sororities were given Spiller their support, and even a few football players like Amari and Kenyan endorsed him. I don't know if this was the largest voter turnout here at UA, but was definitely one of the more important elections.
