Progressive candidates in some of Texas's most distinguished Democratic primaries are demanding recounts.

Jessica Cisneros declared Monday she is requesting a recount in her heated election in opposition to Rep. Henry Cuellar. Cisneros completed just 281 votes quick of Cuellar, according to the Texas Tribune.

Ruben Ramirez, a prospect in yet another South Texas congressional race, introduced his request for a recount the similar working day as Cisneros. Ramirez concluded just 30 votes quick of opponent Michelle Vallejo.

In spite of acknowledging Cisneros' lawful right to request a recount, Cuellar has flatly dismissed her attempts to contest the consequence of the election. Recounts will delay finalized outcomes for quite a few months as election officials re-study and cautiously tally ballots to ensure precision.

Cisneros positioned her campaign as the much more progressive alternative to Cuellar's average Democratic positions. Notably, Cuellar is a pro-lifestyle Democrat.

Last September, the Home handed the Women’s Overall health Protection Act and Cuellar was the only Democrat who voted towards it in a indicator that the pro-existence Democratic caucus is on the verge of extinction on the federal level. As a lifetime-prolonged Catholic, Cuellar claimed he's professional-lifetime and will never guidance "extreme" positions like late-term or partial delivery abortion.
