A Compilation Of Cases Of Contested Elections To Seats In The Assembly Of The State Of New York: With The Reports Of Committees On Privileges And Elections, And The Action Of The House Thereon, From 1777 To 1871 Inclusive. With An Appendix Of The Election Laws Of The State Of New York. This historical compilation surveys contested elections to the New York Assembly, detailing proceedings in the Assembly, the Privileges and Elections Committee, and the House's determinations on who was lawfully entitled to seats. It profiles major cases such as McLeod vs Halpine, Willett N. Hawkins vs John Decker, and Goodrich vs Jones, examining irregular registries, ballots, affidavits, residency disputes, and procedural flaws. The volume presents both majority and minority reports, analyzes legal precedents (People V. Cook and other 19th-century cases), and explains how petitions are filed, evidence is gathered, and seats are allocated or vacated. It includes an index of cases, an errata, and outlines The Election Laws Of The State Of New York (1871) with forms and instructions, situating contested elections within evolving election-law practice.
