The Election Commission cleared student body president candidates Dwayne O’Rear and Matthew Williams of all appealed campaign violations in a hearing Thursday evening.

At the hearing O’Rear and Williams appealed allegations that they were campaigning too close to University Dining locations. The commission was unable to determine whether the candidates were actually campaigning too close to the Atrium, as accused, according to Kyle Tervo, a member of the Public Relations Committee of the Board of Elections. The commission issued both candidates warnings.

O’Rear also appealed a complaint that he used source code from SBP Andy Walsh’s campaign without its consent, according to the commission, which was determined not to be “a blatant copy,” Tervo said.

“If you change the colors on the website, they look almost identical, but we never found anything that showed Dwayne purposefully copied the source code,” Tervo said.

The commission issued O’Rear a warning and requested that he change his website within 48 hours of the hearing. 

According to O’Rear, the website was changed “almost immediately after the hearing.”
