Practice question: Election Protest

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A protest governed by Resolution 8804 seeks relief over several precincts but supplies no detailed acts or omissions showing fraud, anomalies or irregularities there. It says the precinct list alone satisfies every required content. Disregard any exception or permitted amendment. Which is correct?
  1. Listing precincts automatically proves every fraud allegation.
  2. A tribunal must invent the missing facts.
  3. Rule 6 separately requires detailed specification of the complained-of acts or omissions; the list alone is insufficient.
  4. Every protest is exempt from content requirements.
  5. A newspaper headline always replaces the specification.
