One Tarrant County GOP Dist. Judge runoff decided, another may face recount
One race was decided while another could warrant a recount in Tarrant County District Judge Republican runoffs.
It's not the size of the gavel that matters...
In the 213th Judicial District runoff between Republicans Louis Sturns and Lisa Callaghan, Sturns took the nomination with 56% of the vote.
There was a much tigher race, however, in the 17th Judicial District GOP runoff. With 100% of the precincts reporting, Melody Wilkinson and Mike Hrabal are nearly tied with 50.09% and 49.91% of the vote, respectively. The difference between Wilkinson and Hrabal was a mere 20 votes out of a total of 10,538. When a two-candidate race is within one percentage point, the losing candidate has the right to ask for a recount. No word yet (midnight Wednesday) on whether Hrabal plans to do so.
