Jessica Cisneros announced she will request a recount in the hard-fought Democratic primary runoff against U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, after she finished 281 votes behind him
Democratic congressional candidate Jessica Cisneros speaks at a Meet the Candidates event hosted by the Webb County Democratic Party in Laredo on Feb. 16, 2022., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
The recount announcements came shortly after the Texas Democratic Party certified its primary runoff results, confirming the margins for Cuellar and Vallejo that counties finalized last week.“Our community isn’t done fighting, we are filing for a recount,” Cisneros said in a statement. “With just under 0.6 percent of the vote symbolizing such stark differences for the future in South Texas, I owe it to our community to see this through to the end.
Vallejo, who emerged from election night with a 23-vote lead, already declared victory last week as counties were tallying their final ballots, padding her margin.The recounts mean it will be at least weeks before an undisputed winner emerges in each runoff. Any runoff candidate can request a recount as long as their margin is less than 10% of the number of votes received by their opponent. The deadline to request a recount is 5 p.m. Wednesday.
