Following each special primary election to fill a vacancy in the office of Representative in Congress, the State Board shall: convene within 2 days after the certified official election results are received from the local boards; if a majority of the members of the State Board is not present, adjourn for not more than 1 day; within 1 day after convening, review the certified copies of the statements made by the boards of canvassers and determine which candidates, by the greatest number of votes, have been nominated to each office and which questions have received a sufficient number of votes to be adopted or approved; if the State Board determines, based on clear and convincing evidence, that a statement by a board of canvassers is inaccurate, reject the statement and ascertain the accurate election results; and prepare and certify statewide election results. If the State Board determines that a statement by a board of canvassers is inaccurate and must be rejected under subsection (a)(4) of this section, the State Board shall prepare and file a distinct written statement of the reasons for the determination, including the evidence on which the determination was based, with the State Board. If a member of the State Board dissents from a determination of an election result or reasonably believes that the conduct of a State Board member or State Board proceeding was not in compliance with applicable law or regulation or was otherwise illegal or irregular, the member shall prepare and file with the State Board a distinct written statement of the reasons for the dissent or concern. The State Board shall maintain a file of the written statements submitted under this subsection by members of the State Board.
