Judge Smith Denies Allen Mandamus in Battle Creek Clerk Tie
Opinion filed Thursday denies Ethan Allen's petition to force corrections to township and precinct returns for clerk ballots. The judge orders returns from Battle Creek first precinct third ward and Marshall and Marengo townships sent back to inspectors for correction, with a recount possible. The ruling leaves the clerk race unresolved and signals a recount if needed, while noting potential supreme court review.
