Good news!
Jane Long, Mother of Texas?
SOS is appointed in TX. Perry is now on his sixth SOS, Mrs. Hope Andrade of San Antonio.
...and COUNTING the "t's".......dotting......
Sounds like it’s about time for the Walter Huston dance!
Texas Secretary of State Director of Elections Ann McGeehan said Ortiz' request was rejected because of specific defects in it.
Ortiz has until Nov. 24 to amend the petition and submit a corrected one.
McGeehan notified Ortiz in a letter dated today that he failed to include all precinct polls in District 27 in the requested recount and that his deposit of $11,500 was not sufficient and instead should be $23,500.
Ortiz also failed to note whether he was requesting a manual or electronic recount.
Ortiz, the Democratic incumbent, lost the District 27 congressional seat to newcomer Blake Farenthold, a Republican, by 797 votes, unofficial election returns show.
Farenthold received 50,976 votes to Ortizs 50,179, according to election returns.
There's nothing I love better than to see a RARE occasion of a demoRAT libturd, especially an incumbent, getting shot down in a contested election. As some others have pointed out, Ortiz screwed up....he failed to steal or invent enough votes to overcome a 797 vote deficit, and I bet he is howling mad over this!!!
Brwwwwhhhhaaaaa!!!
“...doting the is and crossing the ts...”
Actually it’s dotting the “i’s” and crossing ORTIZ...
(Sorry...couldn’t resist...)
He can’t even fill the paperwork out properly and give the needed info and he’s looking for his old job back? This guy needs a job in private sector.
Solomon is a misnomer.
The nutcase, Ciro Rodriquez, in TX-23 was defeated also. Two entrenched, Mexican Congressmen lose to two Gringos in South Texas. NOW WE’RE TALKING A GOP LANDSLIDE!!!

Would there not be an automatic recount with that narrow a margin?
