Lowenfield will be appropriately advised in due course that a singular reference to an officer in the Constitution does not make you a “Constitutional Officer” without the attendant provisions defining the office such as its genesis, its primary function, and protections distinct from the ordinary lawful processes.
Second, Lowenfield states that there are “sections” of the Constitution which “dictate the functions of the Chief Election Officer”.
Lowenfield will be appropriately advised in due course that there are no “sections” in the Constitution which “dictate the functions of the Chief Election Officer”.
The Constitution explains the “Functions of the Election Commission” at Art. 162 but there is no such comparable Article in the Constitution for the Chief Election Officer.
Before Lowenfield pursues a precipitous course of action which will lead inevitably to failure, he may also direct his attention to S. 18 of the Elections Laws Act and point number 15 of the recount Order which state that the Chief Election Officer shall be subject to the “direction and control” and “general supervisory power” of the Commission.
