Legislative History

(1949 Rev., S. 1087; 1953, S. 797d; 1967, P.A. 557, S. 6; P.A. 00-99, S. 31, 154.) History: 1967 act provided for application of section to state senators and state representatives; P.A. 00-99 deleted references to sheriff, effective December 1, 2000. Trial court lacked jurisdiction over plaintiff's claims and therefore it similarly lacked jurisdiction to enjoin state defendants from canvassing the votes and declaring a winner of the election, even temporarily. 331 C. 436.
