The People Ex Rel. Henry Bradley, Respondents v. Thomas G. Shaw, Composing the Board of Canvassers of…

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's order granting a peremptory writ of mandamus directing the town canvassers to count the paster ballots and issue a certificate of election, holding that the Ballot Reform Act permits voters to write or paste any candidate's name and that the presence of a name on a paster ballot does not vitiate the ballot.
