Nelson v. Big Lost River Irrigation District

KIDWELL, Justice.

This case involves an election contest concerning the election of directors to the board of the Big Lost River Irrigation District. After finding discrepancies in the way the election was conducted and the way the ballots were counted, a defeated candidate brought suit to challenge the election results. The distinct court refused to declare either candidate duly elected and ordered a new election. The district court also awarded fees to both parties. The decision of the district court is affirmed in part and reversed in part, and the case is remanded.
