““The Court of Civil Appeals has held in this case that • ballots should not be counted when the corresponding stubs do not bear the signature of the voter. 296 S.W.2d 603 -604, 605-607. That holding is in conflict with the holding of the El Paso Court of Civil Appeals in Fox v. Nail, 294 S.W.2d 407, 409 . On the question indicated a majority of this Court agree with the holding of the Court of Civil Appeals in the instant case.””
