Hard To Find Good Help These Days

Courtesy Austin Political Report  Tue, 04/15/2008 - 12:13pm

State Rep. Nathan Macias lost his primary last month to former New Braunfels mayor Doug Miller by a mere 17 votes.

After a recount and lots of public warnings about electoral fraud, Macias’ legal team — including his own committee clerk, a state employee — filed suit.

Among the charges: that a significant number of people voted more than once.

According to a report in today’s New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung, the soon-to-be-former state legislator’s own chief of staff is listed among the alleged double-voters.
