The State Bar of Texas announced that El Paso lawyer Sylvia Borunda Firth, who garnered 37 more votes than her opponent, has won the race for president-elect.
But Firth’s opponent, Pablo Almaguer of Edinburg, is calling for a recount and runoff election, arguing that neither candidate won a majority of the vote, which is required in the Texas Bar policy manual.
