. The judges designated by the order to hear the contest,
including the judge to whom the contest was originally assigned,
shall convene upon notice from the judge to whom the contest was
originally assigned, and agree upon the precincts which each one of
them, sitting separately, will recount. Thereupon the recount shall
so proceed that each judge, sitting separately, shall respectively
determine the recount in those precincts which have been assigned to
him or her, so that the ballots opened before one judge need not be
opened before another judge or department.
