02-1652-FT In Re April 2, 2002 Official Ballot for Village of Knapp Offices: Hammond v. Board of Canvassers for the Village of Knapp

By: dmc-admin//December 30, 2002//

Listen to this article

Dale S. Hammond appeals a judgment upholding the board of canvassers’ decision that rejected his challenge to the results of an election for village trustees. The board concluded that the election for three trustees resulted in a three-way tie for second. Names were drawn to determine the winners. After Hammond lost the draw, he asked the board of canvassers to reject every ballot cast because the ballots impermissibly identified the incumbents and failed to include Hammond’s middle initial.

Because we conclude that the board’s authority does not extend to invalidating the election, we affirm the judgment affirming the board’s decision.

This opinion will not be published.
