Key legal question
Whether the public-law election appeal was admissible despite new arguments and insufficient substantiation.
Extracted holding
The appeal was only admissible to the extent it properly challenged the cantonal decision; new arguments not raised below and inadequately reasoned submissions were inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 90(1)(b) and Art. 86(1) OJ, the appeal had to identify the constitutional violation and could not raise issues for the first time before the Federal Court.
