1. By section 114 of the Political Code it is made the duty of the managers of a primary election to count the votes “publicly.” By section 632 of the Penal Code a wilful violation of this duty is a misdemeanor. As to what would be “publicly,” see the case of Tilton v. State, ante, 59 (62 S. E. 651).
