Just heard on TV 8 in Laredo Zapata found 304 votes that had not been counted ZERO got about 100 + - and Henry got about 200 + - also they have found about 135 in Web.that had not been counted Henry leads ZERO by about 200+ right now.With bexar and one other county to count.That will be tomorrow .

Even that doesn't sound quite right. Cuellar slaughtered Rodriguez in Zapata County by far more than a 2-1 advantage (assuming they didn't lie on the original vote count). This sounds more and more like they wanted to appear fair, but make sure that Cuellar caught up during the recount by finding new ballots.

I dunno. I'm not down there. But I have no reason whatsoever to believe that the vote counting there is honest.

Hmmmm? So the dems are starting to turn on each other.

How prophetic!

I think when they started counting ZERO was leading Henry by 145 + -.Then along came Zapata And Web and freer and the rest is history for now.

The discovery of the missing votes is highly suspicious, according to Rodriguez. “There's no doubt that there's some fraud going on, some illegal activities,” he said today. "I mean, there's the ballot stuffing I did, and then a couple of county chairmen helped me out, and I'm pretty sure Cuellar did something wrong too."

For the slow children in the audience who ask "Did he really say that?????", the stuff in italics is from the story, the stuff not in italics is my satirical addition.

It is refreshing to know that the dems do stand for some traditions in our society; namely the fine tradition of Dem election fraud, graft, and corruption.

RE: exactly 300 votes?

In South Texas, By God, you get what you pay for.
