Sheriff Greg Capers was pushed out by 107 votes, but he's filed a lawsuit to keep his job, claiming that 503 votes were cast illegally.
About 100 votes pushed San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers out but he is digging his heels to keep his job. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers filed a lawsuit this week contesting his loss in the March 5 Republican Primary Election.
Stein explained that he does not believe election errors are made with malice but rather because of ambiguity or a lack of resources. Stein said there is a chance that other candidates could follow in Capers' footsteps and contest their results. Similarly, the candidate who lost filed a suit claiming there were illegal votes cast that could have changed the result of the election.
