McGann v. Board of Elections
Supreme Court of Rhode Island · Decided January 1, 1957 · Andrews, Condon, Flynn, Paolino
85 R.I. 221; 129 A.2d 340; 1957 R.I. LEXIS 14
McGann v. Board of Elections

Opinion of the Court

Andrews, J.

dissents on the ground that the petitioners did not preserve the right to question here the constitutionality of the absentee and shut-in ballots. He agrees, however, that if this question is properly before us then the constitution allows voting of civilian absentee and shut-in voters so called only on election day.
