The Missouri Students Association Board of Elections Commissioners announced in a March 2 decision that it is “concerned” by the Ready to Roar slate’s allegations that the BEC unconstitutionally allowed the Renew Mizzou slate to file their candidacy.
Ready to Roar presidential candidate Will Shafer and vice presidential candidate Key Avingston-Banks said the extension of the filing date was unconstitutional in a video originally posted Feb. 28 on Shafer’s personal Instagram account.
“Thirty minutes before the deadline, and after receiving our information, the BEC … decided to extend a week,” said Shafer.
Avingston-Banks added that they found this extension “whole-heartedly unconstitutional.”
