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.

Republican state lawmaker Nathan Macias of Bulverde lost his primary election last month to former New Braunfels mayor Doug Miller by the narrowest margin — a mere 17 votes after the recount.

Macias, elected to his first term in 2006 in a campaign bankrolled by voucher advocate Dr. James Leininger, is now suing to force a new election.
