The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1881-02-25

A correspondent at GallitZin writes to
saw .nat at the recent election in that boro'
tie names of ttco candidates for Inspectors
were printed on some of the tickets--that
some of the voters neglected to erase the
name of one of the Inspect0rs-that all such
tickets were thrown out of the count by the
election board-and he asks whether the ac-
ton of the board was legal. We answer him
by saying that it was the duty of the board
to count all the other names on such tickets,
but not, of course, to count the inspectors.
The tickets were in legal form except that
they contained tlCo names for an Office for
which each elector could only vote for one
person; but a blunder of that kind can't
destroy the right of the other candidates on
the same ticket to be voted for and to have
their votes counted The tickets were
worthless as regards the office of Inspector,
but were valid as to the other officers named
on them.
