34322.
    LESTER v. BOONE.
    Decided October 25, 1978.
    
      Roosevelt Warren, David Walbert, John J. Goger, for appellant.
    
      Groover & Childs, Denmark Groover, Jr., for appellee.
   Per curiam.

This is a primary election contest for the democratic nomination for the office of Hancock County Commissioner. Lester won by 137 votes. Boone brought this action under the Georgia Election Code, Code Ann. § 34-101 et seq. The trial judge, after hearing, found the election so defective the result was placed in doubt. He declared the election void and ordered a new election to be held October 31, 1978. Lester appeals. After a comprehensive review of the case, we affirm.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
