Court fights Burgin certification and eighth district seat
In Raleigh on October 15 AP reports W O Burgin files in the state supreme court seeking dismissal of the election board petition and a mandamus to allow C B Deute of Ingham to be certified as the eighth Democratic congressional vice. The move questions Judge Harris jurisdiction and requests Superior court action to certify Burgin. The board asked for a jury trial, while Burgin argues the court’s threatened trial is improper and cites alleged invalidity in the old Davidson board’s appointments.
