If it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the election, or the returns thereof, were materially affected by fraud, duress, bribery, intimidation or corrupt practices, the entire election and the returns thereof shall be declared void and ineffective for any purpose. Costs shall follow the judgment as in equity cases.
