Texas: Gonzales Councilmember recall scheduled for May 3rd

Gonzales City Councilmember Ronda Miller is facing a May 3rd recall vote, which will take place on a general election day.

There was a significant debate as to whether Miller could vote in the council to schedule the recall (it passed 2-1, so presumably, if she voted it would have failed). The City Attorney noted that she was barred from casting a vote. 

Petitioners handed in 313 signatures and got 276 valids. They needed 260.

Miller seems to be pushing a focus on a lack of grounds in the petition. Her attorney claims the city uses a malfeasance standard and that is not met here.
