Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1 later decision quote this exact passage“the Act shall have no effect unless the issuance of bonds therein authorized shall have been approved by a single majority of the qualified voters in the Bedford School District voting in such referendum election.”
