A Call to investigate Macias v Miller race

San Antonio Toll Party put out a Press Release on the Macias / Miller race. They are concerned that the race was not just 'stolen' through a very dishonest campaign, but there was vote tampering that gave Doug Miller the close win. At the very least, a recount is needed:

CITIZENS CALL ON SECRETARY OF STATE TO INVESTIGATE MACIAS vs. MILLER RACE

(Comal County, TX, March 7, 2008) – Concerned voters, including San Antonio Toll Party members in District 73, will request that the Secretary of State investigate the election results for the State Representative Nathan Macias (R – Dist 73) vs. Doug Miller race. A relative of Doug Miller, and other known supporters were reportedly the sole initial vote counters of copied paper ballots, the Republican Party Chair for Gillespie County (where possible improprieties took place) was repeatedly on the phone with former Macias opponent and former State Representative for District 73 Carter Casteel while ballots were being counted, and members of the “counting team” in Gillespie County took over 4 hours after midnight to hand-count the 160 copied paper ballots which changed the outcome of the election from a 58 vote win for Macias to a 38 vote win for Miller.
