If the Secretary of State has not received the abstract of votes from any county by the third Monday after the day of election, the Secretary of State may send a messenger to the election commissioner or county clerk of such county at the expense of such county. The election commissioner or county clerk shall furnish the messenger with the abstract of votes or, if the abstract has been sent, with a copy of the abstract, and the messenger shall return the abstract to the Secretary of State without delay. If the abstract of votes was delayed by reason of the fault or neglect of the election commissioner or county clerk, he or she shall be responsible to the county for the cost of the messenger.
