Election Contest In Starr County To Get New Trial
In Starr County election contest the Fourth Court of Civil Appeals sent the case back for a new trial. The court said the trial judge Raul Gonzalez used the wrong basis in evaluating absentee ballots from the April 1 1961 Romia Independent School District election. Four members of the new party faction challenged the rejection of more than 200 absentee votes and the appeals court held the burden rested on the contestants to prove the ballots valid. The new party failed to do so, prompting the reversal and remand.
