Rinehart v. State Ex Rel. Bell

Opinion of the Court

Chapman, J.

This is a companion case to the case of Rinehart v. State ex rel. Whitley, this day decided (page 612). The issue grew out of a municipal election held by the City of Coral Gables, Florida. The question involved was whether or not the results of the election should be declared on the results of the machine votes and the absentee votes. We concluded that the lower court did not err in holding that the absentee votes were illegal and void and should not be counted but the result of the. election declared on the machine votes cast in said election.

*618 . The final judgment in this ease is hereby affirmed on the authority of the companion casé, supra.

It is so ordered'.

Terrell, C. J., Whitfield and Brown, J. J., concur.
