SGA Election Commission violates Open Meetings Act, will redo hearing against winning presidential campaign

The Student Government Association Election Commission at the University of Oklahoma will redo a hearing after violating the Open Meetings Act while considering allegations against the winning presidential ticket. The losing candidates accused Kendell Coppinger and Tyler Harbin of election interference at a student event. Evidence and witness accounts disputed parts of the claims, including Coppinger’s whereabouts. The commission’s decision to repeat the hearing follows the procedural violation.
