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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Accordingly, in an election contest like any other civil suit, judgment must be rendered in order for the cause to be appealable.

(Emphasis added.)”
