Sec. 876.
The returns made by a board of canvassers upon recount are considered to be correct,
notwithstanding anything in the previous returns from the city, township, ward, or precinct to
the contrary. However, if the person petitioning for a recount withdraws the recount petition or
discontinues the recount before the recount is complete, then the original return is considered
correct regardless of any change shown by the recount at the time of the withdrawal of the
petition or the discontinuance of the recount. The final report on the results of any recount
must be made public.
