1. “I’ve come to the conclusion that Article 33, Section 19-5 makes the standard clear and convincing evidence, which is precisely defined, has been defined to me in argu ment____ [TJhat standard was created because I don’t think the Legislature intended to empower a trial court judge to lightly throw out an election---- I think that the clear and convincing ... also applies to [“might have changed the outcome of an election already held”]. It is up to this Court to determine on the evidence whether it is clear and convincing that the election in this case might have been different without the violation. The violation in this case, I believe, is the failure to designate the candidate or committee for whom the treasurer acts as required by 26-16(a)(7)---- And I am persuaded by clear and convincing evidence that there was an act or omission under Article 33 that involved— that was involved and materially involved the rights of interested parties and affected the purity of the elections process. But I have no evidence, in my view, which is clear and convincing, that that violation, absent that violation, it might have changed the outcome of an election already held. And, therefore, I find for the defendants.”
