A rap video didn’t translate into victory for second-year law student Anthony Halmon, who lost his race for president of the Student Bar Association of Florida International University.

Daniel Horton, 28, another second-year law student who was considered the insider, beat Halmon in a four-day Internet-based vote last week to represent the 500 law students at the Miami commuter college, according to Zoraya “Zory” Hernandez,coordinator of student services at FIU.
