1. ““Injunction is an appropriate remedy to require an official to perform his duty with reference to the conducting and certifying the results of an election, but it is no part of the duty of a canvassing board, such as the board of education in an election for school trustees, to investigate and adjudicate upon the legality of votes cast in the election. Its duty as such canvassing board consists merely in correctly adding up the number of votes cast for each candidate and issuing a certificate to the successful one or ones, if more than one trustee is to be elected.””
