City Council must accept judges' oath but Agney case wrong
Debate rages over counting votes and relying on Judges of Election certificates. The text argues the City Council should follow the Judges under oath, declare elected those with the majority certified, and permit contests only after declaration. It condemns deviating from certificates as opening fraud avenues and calls for a standard, fair process. The excerpt also notes legislative actions and a Webster's Unabridged reference.
