A longtime Houston legislator who lost his re-election bid by 32 votes
-- requested a recount Monday.
Republican Representative Talmadge Heflin lost to Democrat Hubert Vo.
The recount request has gone to the Texas Secretary of State's Office.
Harris County election officials have until next Monday to finish the
recount.
Heflin's attorneys have said they're also considering challenging the
vote, which would take the argument to the Republican-ruled Texas House
for consideration.
Last week, Republican House Speaker Tom Craddick replaced Heflin as
chairman of the powerful House budget-writing committee.
