Virginias Poll Tax Challenge in Contest of Election
The contestee denies that paying a poll tax is required to vote and claims election officers violated law by counting many who had not paid poll taxes or were not old soldiers. He asserts numerous names on lists voted for the contestant and seeks deductions of those votes. The notice notes possible miscounts and alleges many ballots were void or improper.
