notice of contest

The statute says little about the substantive standards for judging a notice of contest.

Under the FCEA, the candidate contesting the election must file a notice of contest within thirty days of state certification of the election results.

The law explains the process, starting from the filing of a notice of contest by the loser of the election, taking of testimony from witnesses, and the holding of hearings on the depositions and papers filed with the Clerk of the House.
