Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““General elections and townships elections shall be held biennially on the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday in. November in the years bearing even numbers. All county and township officers shall hold their offices for a term of two years and until their successors are qualified: ... No person shall hold the office of sheriff or county treasurer for more than two consecutive terms.” (Art. 4, § 2.)”
