Description
On February 2, 1949, an election was held for the selection of directors of the West Side Irrigation District. Appellant Costa and respondent Banta were candidates for election in Division 3 of such district. It was concluded by the election officials that Costa and Banta had each received 39 votes. Thereafter the board of directors of the district, upon demand by Costa, recounted the votes and it concluded also that each candidate had received 39 votes. Costa then filed an election contest in the Superior Court of San Joaquin County, alleging that three ballots which had been rejected by the election officials and by the board of directors should have been counted for him, and that certain ballots counted for Banta should have been rejected. The trial court heard the contest and found that the vote was still a tie. From the judgment of that court this appeal was taken.
