Description
THIS is an original proceeding in mandamus by relator, a candidate for the office of attorney general in the 1940 election, to compel the boards of county canvassers of seven of the sixty-three counties of Colorado and the election commission of the City and County of Denver, which is vested with kindred functions therein, to reconvene and change the abstract of votes for the office of attorney general in such counties and in the City and County of Denver by excluding therefrom some 2800 absent ballots designated by name and number in the petition and recounting the remaining ballots of absent electors. Relator prays that respondent boards be ordered to then certify and transmit such amended abstract of votes to the secretary of state in lieu of the abstract heretofore certified and transmitted by them and that the original abstract be recalled from the secretary of state. The petition alleges that if such exclusion be made and the remaining absent voters ballots are recounted by the respondent boards, the result of the 1940 election for attorney general as heretofore certified by the sixty-three counties of the state, which shows the respondent Ireland, the opposing candidate, leading by 199 votes, will be changed and the relator will be elected to such office by a majority of 411 votes.
