“I want to see how everything plays out. I want to make sure all the votes are counted,” Garcia said on May 6. “We’ll make that decision once we get those numbers tomorrow.” According to information from the Texas Secretary of State Office, a candidate can legally call for a recount if the difference between the number of votes between the candidates is less than 10% of the number of votes received by the person elected. In this race, that would mean 10% of the 2,966 votes received by Aguirre so far. That comes to 296 votes—far more than the gap recorded between Aguirre and Garcia.
