Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion
It does not appear from the petition presented that the Oakland council has been asked to appoint on the election boards to hold the recall election persons of whom half belong to the Republican party and half to the Democratic party, as required in section 1142 of the Political Code. We think that under the provisions of the charter that section applies to recall elections held under said charter. But because of the failure to aver that the council threatens to disobey that section, the application for mandamus is denied.
