Synopsis
Excerpt from A. G. Curtin Vs; Seth H. Yocum: Contested Election From the Twentieth Congressional District of Pennsylvania
In College township, Centre county, the election board returned no list of voters; negligently disregarded many other important requirements of the election law; members of the board took from the ballot-box the list of voters, and placed them in the hands of contestee's counsel, by whom they were kept and suppressed.
In Philipsburg borough, Centre county, it was shown by the testimony that in accordance with the law, overseers were appointed but were not permitted to act. The election officers did not check off the names of persons as they voted; no use was made of the registry and no reference was made thereto. That they permitted a large number of persons whose names did not appear on the registry to vote without requiring the proof of residence in the district.
