This phrase has no technical or legally defined meaning. An election may be said to be contested whenever an objection is formally urged against it, which, if found to be true in fact, would invalidate it This must be true both as to objection founded upon some constitutional provision, as well as upon any mere statutory enactment; Robertson v. State, 109 Ind. 116, 10 N. E. 582, 643.
