A student government election in California has taken a bizarre turn after one of the candidates admitted to hacking fellow students in an effort to fix results.

According to local news site Berkeleyside, the unnamed student at Berkeley High School took advantage of weak passwords and default credentials to get into the email accounts of more than 500 fellow students and cast fraudulent votes for themself and another unsuspecting candidate.
