Description
At the general election held in the city of Northlake on April 21, 1953, the appellant, John P. Rausa, and the appellee, Joe
C. Griffin, were candidates for the office of mayor of said city. The appellant was the candidate of the United Citizens party
and the appellee the candidate of the Northlake Voters League party. The returns of the election officials showed appellant
to have received 1102 votes and appellee 1100 votes. Following a canvass of the votes confirming the election officials' returns,
appellee filed a petition in the circuit court of Cook County to contest the election, and after a contested hearing the court
entered an order finding that 2226 official ballots were cast for office of mayor of city of Northlake; that 1114 ballots
were cast for Joe C. Griffin for mayor and 1112 were cast for John P. Rausa for mayor; that Joe C. Griffin received the highest
number of votes and that he be declared the duly elected mayor of the city of Northlake. From this order appellant prosecutes
this appeal and appellee assigns cross errors. The determination of this election contest depends entirely upon the validity of 16 ballots, being numbered 1 to 16, the
originals having been certified to, and they are before the court. Of these 16 ballots involved there is no controversy as
to 6 ballots, leaving for this court's determination the validity of ballots numbered 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16.
