A former candidate for Dallas City Council is asking the Texas Supreme Court not to certify the June 5 runoff election results for District 7.
Donald Parrish argued that legal action to formally contest the May 1 election has not been settled as state law requires.
“They shouldn’t certify the results. The June 5 runoff election was unlawful,” said Elizabeth Alvarez, an attorney for Parrish.
Parrish was among eight candidates running for the District 7 seat on Dallas Council on May 1. He narrowly lost a spot in the June 5 runoff. Parrish placed third, 28 votes behind the second-place finisher, Kevin Felder.
On Tuesday, Parrish filed an 81-page writ asking the Texas Supreme Court to stop the City of Dallas from certifying a winner in the race.
