(a) If the Secretary of State finds for the
appellant, order the county clerk to recertify the petition, including as

2.  If the Secretary of State is unable to
make a decision on the appeal based upon the documents submitted, the Secretary
of State may order the county clerk to reverify the signatures.

3.  The decision of the Secretary of State
is a final decision for the purposes of judicial review. The decision of the
Secretary of State may only be appealed in the First Judicial District Court.
