Lone Star College canvasses runoff election The Lone Star College System board of trustees held a meeting Dec. 20 to canvas the results from the Dec. 14 board runoff elections for the District 1 position. Unofficial results show incumbent Michael “Mike” Stoma with 494 votes , or 63.58% of votes cast, while Shashanka P. Ashili received 283 votes . How we got here The LSCS board of trustee positions for districts 1 and 2 were mistakenly placed on all Harris County ballots within the system’s boundaries after LSCS staff made an error when submitting the ballots, as previously reported by Community Impact . Challenger Daniel “Danny” Meza now holds the District 2 position and was sworn in Nov. 21 even though LSCS is still awaiting a ruling from the Southern District of Texas court to verify the results of the Nov. 5 election and to determine whether a new election would need to be held.
