Vo Still Standing in Texas: Time for Republican to Withdraw
Vo Still Standing: Challenger Should Withdraw

By Greg Moses
Texas Civil Rights Review

While it may be another week before the Master of Discovery releases a report on the challenge brought against the election of Texas State Rep. Hubert Vo (D-Houston), informal signs indicate that the challenge will fail.

In fact, given irregularities discovered in voter questionnaires returned by the challenger that have two kinds of ink and two kinds of handwriting, it would seem best if the challenger gracefully withdrew as soon as possible.

By the time that Master of Discovery Will Hartnett (R-Dallas) called the first break on the second day of hearings Friday, it would have been clear to him that the challenge had failed. That was the point at which he had completed his review of voter depositions. While his case-by-case assessment of depositions resulted in a net loss of some 20 votes from Vo's 33-vote election victory, his informal rulings would not have reversed the outcome.
