Texas: Gonzales Councilmember ousted

Gonzales City Councilmember Ronda Miller was ousted in May 3rd recall, 216-161, which took place on a general election day. The recall was over a general claim of incompetence. Don't see any other reasons mentioned in any story.

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.
