50-1519. Rules and procedures; examination of ballots; certificate; prima facie evidence.
(1) The Legislature may establish rules and procedures for the recount of ballots. Such rules and procedures may provide for delivery by the election commissioner or county clerk, to the Legislature or the committee, of the ballots or notarized copies of the ballots which were cast at the election in contest. The Legislature shall return such ballots or notarized copies of such ballots to the election commissioner or county clerk at the conclusion of the election contest.
(2) The election commissioner or county clerk shall permit the petitioner, the respondent member, and the attorneys for the parties to fully examine the ballots. The election commissioner or county clerk shall make return to the writ, under his or her hand and official seal, of all the facts which either of the parties may desire and which appear from the ballots to affect or relate to the contested election. After the examination of the ballots is completed, the election commissioner or county clerk shall again securely seal the ballots as they were and preserve and destroy them as provided by law in the same manner as if they had not been opened. The certificate of the election commissioner or county clerk certifying the total number of votes received by a candidate shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated in the certificate, but the persons present at the examination of the ballots may be heard as witnesses to contradict the certificate.
