McCALL, Justice.
This is an appeal from the denial of an election contest. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
On May 5, 2001, the Gustine Independent School District (Gustine ISD) conducted an election for school board trustees and for the approval of a 1.6 million dollar bond issue. The bond issue passed by a three-vote margin of 91 votes in favor and 88 votes against. Appellants filed a contest challenging the election pursuant to TEX.ELEC.CODE ANN. §§ 221.001 et seq. & 233.001 et seq. (Vernon 1986 & Supp.2001). The trial court denied the contest, and appellants perfected this appeal.
