Mike May, the GOP nominee who ran against state Rep. Jon Rosenthal in House District 135, filed a petition challenging Rosenthal’s win with the Texas Secretary of State’s Office on Tuesday morning. May contends that the result “is not the true outcome” because some voting locations in Harris County ran out of paper used to print ballots in voting machines.
State election law directs the secretary of state to deliver May's petition to House Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, who will then refer it to a committee of House members to consider whether to recommend that the full House uphold the result or declare it void, thus triggering a new election.
Phelan is also directed by state law to appoint another House member as a “master of discovery,” who can throw out the contest by declaring it “frivolous.”
