said counties, may file a petition in the circuit court within
twenty days after said work is finished, naming the said two
clerks and the board of supervisors of elections as defendants,
and the said court shall have the power to make such order for
the correction of said books as may be proper; any political
party that polled more than one per cent, of the vote cast at
