Real quick background, Henry Cuellar was the Texas politico who had been
former Secretary of State, resigned, then ran for U.S. Congress last year
in the new districts drawn by the Republican majority in the Texas
Legislature (Cuellar is a Democrat). He lost the election by a very

ballots were for Cuellar and none for his Democratic primary opponent, a
stroke of luck as it allowed the original results to be overturned and
declare Cuellar the winner. And while Cuellar was among the chorus of
Democrat voices calling for the zillionth recount of the Florida 2000
ballots, after this single recount that gave him his victory Cuellar
suddenly believed that the law prohibited further recounts. Here ya go:
