These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When the petitions to open the ballot boxes were presented appellant had already forfeited his right to an election contest by not commencing such a contest within twenty days of the election ... he cannot substitute the present type of proceeding for an election contest. By the failure to present these petitions within five days after computation and canvass of the votes the right to a correction of the returns by direction of the Court was forfeited.”
