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.
