The results are a product of fraud. 2. The elections were so poorly conducted that they could not be said to have been in substantial compliance with the law. It is for the applicant to prove to the satisfaction of the Court that the election was conducted in a manner which fell substantially below the statutory requirements of a valid election and that the result was materially affected warranting a nullification of the result or invalidation of the election.
