Far-left Democratic US House candidate Jessica Cisneros, backed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, called for a recount of her runoff election against Rep. Henry Cuellar on Monday after the state’s final canvas declared Cuellar the winner. The incumbent Congressman narrowly took home the win with just 281 more votes than Cisneros. The Texas Democratic Party certified the election results Monday afternoon. “Our community isn’t done fighting, we are filing for a recount,” Cisneros said in a statement. “With just under 0.6 percent of the vote symbolizing such stark differences for the future in South Texas, I owe it to our community to see this through to the end.”
