Good news for Hubert Vo! From the Houston Chronicle:
Democrat Hubert Vo won his Houston election over former Republican state Rep. Talmadge Heflin by at least 16 votes, a legislator collecting evidence in the disputed case said today.Posted by sarah at February 7, 2005 12:31 PM
State Rep. Will Hartnett, R-Dallas, also concluded that Heflin had produced "no evidence of any intentional voter fraud'' that would have affected his Nov. 2 loss to Vo in District 149. Vo won then by 33 votes.
A nine-member House committee will hear Hartnett's report and testimony from lawyers for Vo and Heflin on Tuesday. The final decision is up to the full Texas House, which could uphold Vo's election, seat Heflin or require Gov. Rick Perry to call another election.
