What is the burden of proof of waiver in an election?

3 I reject appellants' contention that the burden of proof of waiver in an election contest rests upon the contestees. (See generally City of Ukiah v. Fones (1966) 64 Cal.2d 104, 48 Cal.Rptr. 865, 410 P.2d 369.) The burden of producing evidence as to a particular fact, in this case, illegal voting, rested initially on appellants. (See Evid.Code, 550.) But assuming, arguendo, that some showing was required on the part of respondents as contestees, ample evidence of waiver existed to support the trial court's finding.
