Description
The present controversy arises out of an election contest between appellant and respondent who were opposing candidates for the office of supervisor for the Third Supervisorial District of San Joaquin County in the November 1948 general election. The official canvass of the returns showed that the contestant Hawkins received a total of 7,256 votes and that the contestee Sanguinetti received 7,269 votes, whereupon Sanguinetti was declared duly elected to said office. On January 10, 1949, Hawkins filed in the superior court of said county a statement of contest wherein it was alleged that (1) certain illegal ballots were cast for Sanguinetti in 17 of the districts 75 precincts; (2) that in said 17 precincts illegal ballots were counted for Sanguinetti; (3) that certain legal ballots were not counted in said 17 precincts, and (4) that such irregularities procured the election for Sanguinetti. After a hearing on the contest the trial court found the final vote to be 7,264 for Sanguinetti and 7,263 for Hawkins, and confirmed the election of the former as supervisor of said district.
