168.876 Recount; returns by board of canvassers, withdrawal of petition; final report made public.
Sec. 876.
The returns made by a board of canvassers upon recount are considered to be correct, notwithstanding anything in the previous returns from the city, township, ward, or precinct to the contrary. However, if the person petitioning for a recount withdraws the recount petition or discontinues the recount before the recount is complete, then the original return is considered correct regardless of any change shown by the recount at the time of the withdrawal of the petition or the discontinuance of the recount. The final report on the results of any recount must be made public.
