Jessica Cisneros announced Monday 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. Cuellar has already declared victory twice. He first did on election night, which he emerged from with a 177-vote lead. And then he did it again after counties finished canvassing their results last week, giving him the 281-vote lead.
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.
