Update My Local Election To Be Replayed in 30 days

The Leroy Stanley/ Don Harrison race in Pasadena Texas is headed back to the voters.

In the first count Leroy Stanley won by one vote.

In the recount it was discovered one mail-in ballot had been counted for Stanley instead of Harrison. However one provisional ballot was accepted for Stanley meaning the race is tied.

There were some problems with the recount with one candidate, Harrison, being allowed to examine and handle(!) the mail-in ballots before they were recounted.

However in an ironic turn of events the provisional ballot proved decisive. This was cast at a shelter that Harrison had attacked in the campaign. When the citizen was proven to have registered to vote in time the vote for Stanley and against Harrison was accepted.

This means the election is now a tie. The City Council is expected to call for a new election on Tuesday.
