After placing her vote for the democratic party for sale on eBay, Sara Yasin, senior in textiles and apparel management, received a mandate from the North Carolina State Board of Elections instructing her to remove it.

According to Yasin, a former Student Centers President and a former Student Senator, the idea originally began as a joke.

“[A friend and I] were just talking about how the Democratic race has gotten pretty ridiculous,” Yasin said. “I mean it’s good healthy competition, but I just feel like it has become a bidding war.” [Technician Online]
