1502 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 934

Said recount shall be had in the presence of the candidates or
their representatives and of the press and general public. Upon
the completion of said recount and recanvass the said Super-
visors shall award the costs of the same as follows:

(e) If the result in such county, municipality, legislative
district or other district or political division as returned by the
judges of election is changed thereby or if there is a change
thereby of two per cent, of the total votes recounted the costs
shall be awarded against the municipality or county in which
said recount is held. But if the result in such county, munici-
pality or legislative district or other political division is not
changed thereby or two per cent, or more of the votes therein
recounted is not found to have been erroneously counted, then
the cost shall be awarded against the petitioner, and his bond,
if given as above, shall be liable therefor.

(f) In case said petition only specified a part of the pre-
cincts in which the petitioner was voted for and if on comple-
tion of said review and recount of such specified precincts
the result of the count of the judges of election in said county,
municipality, district or other political division is thereby
changed, then the opposing candidate thus affected may ap-
peal within two days of the said determination, to said Super-
visors of Elections from the action and decision of the judges
of election in counting the ballots and/or certifying the votes
recorded upon the voting machines in the remaining precincts
of said county, municipality, ward, legislative district or other
political division in which he was voted for and ask them to
recount and recanvass said remaining precincts, which they
shall immediately proceed to do, and in each such case the cost
of the completion of said recount and recanvass shall be paid
by the county or municipality, as the case may be.

(g) Whenever such appeal from the determination and ac-
tion of the judges of election is held as aforesaid and com-
pleted, the said supervisors shall correct the returns and certi-
ficate of any canvassing board which may have been made of
said primary election and shall give to the person so found
to be nominated as a candidate or selected as a delegate or
member of a party committee or other position as the result of
said recount a new certificate of nomination or election in
conformity with the result of said recount and recanvass and
shall certify the same to the proper authorities as said candi-
date's certificate of nomination or selection.

And the corrected certificate of nomination or selection given
as aforesaid as the result of such recount shall supersede and
stand in lieu of and in place of any certificate of nomination
given by any canvassing board and shall have all the effect in
law of the ordinary certificate given by any canvassing board
