Rudy Metayer[/caption] Updated Nov. 3 at 1:09 Travis County Director of Elections Michael Winn said there are 22 provisional or late mail ballots that have yet to be canvassed and could possibly affect the results of the Pflugerville City Council Place 5 race. Even if all 22 ballots were counted toward Metayer, the candidate's votes would still fall 22 short of his opponent's. Winn said the county Board of Registrars is expected to make a decision on the remaining 22 ballots by Nov. 10. Posted Nov. 3 After Travis County poll results showed Pflugerville City Council candidate Rudy Metayer received 44 fewer votes than his opponent Mike Heath in the Nov. 3 City Council Place 5 race, Metayer plans to petition the county for a recount, the candidate announced Nov. 5 Metayer, an attorney, said he and his campaign are doing their due diligence by challenging the election results because 44 votes could fall within the margin of error. "When it comes down to 44 votes you are no longer talking about a quite demonstrative blind delineation," he said. Michael Winn, director of elections for Travis County, said the county has not received an official petition for recount from the Metayer campaign and that there is no margin for error in the Pflugerville City Council Place 5 race. “No, the votes weren’t miscounted," Winn said. “We looked at that race, he did lose that race by 44 votes." According to unofficial election results Nov. 3, Heath won City Council Place 5 seat with 50.59 percent of the vote, or 1,879 votes. Rudy Metayer received 49.41 percent of the vote, or 1,835 votes. Pflugerville City Council Member-elect Mike Heath said he had not been notified about a recount. "I haven't received any official notice, but I understand Rudy's ask for a recount," Heath said. "I hope it doesn't cost the city or taxpayers any money." Winn said in his 17 years with the county, he has never seen a recount alter the results of an election. If Metayer files an official recount petition, the results from 168 polling locations  in Travis County would be re-run through a computer system at the cost of more than $16,000, Winn said. Metayer said he has received many calls from campaign supporters and is calling for the recount for their sake and so both himself and Heath can be sure the results were accurate. "It's not about me, it's about the people who are supporting the campaign and the message," Metayer said. "No matter what, I hope this illustrates to people that your vote does matter.”
