Texas: Recall effort against two Jasper Councilmembers fails

The recall effort against Jasper City Councilmembers David Shultz and Rashad Lewis has failed. 

The recalls focued on Shultz's vote on a broadband issue and Lewis's calling himself "Mayor" in a social media post (Lewis is the Mayor Pro-Tem), as well as claims of a failure to comply with a public records request. 

Jasper requires 30% of turnout (213 signatures) because all positions are considered at-large. Texas law uses 10% of registered voters in a specific district.
