Recount in TX House District with 221 vote difference

UPDATE: 11/30/2018 Editor's Note: The recount is complete and Joanna has conceded to the incumbent. Ms. Cattanch ran an exceptional campaign in a predominately Republican district. She has succeeded in showing that this seat is competitive. In 2016 Terry Meza was very close to flipping a DFW Metroplex Texas House seat from a GOP Incumbent. On January 8th, 2019 she will be sworn into office as that district's State Representative. Terry is a good role model for Joanna. Perhaps we will see Ms. Cattanach sworn into office in January 2021!

Press Release by Cattanach for State Representative Campaign: "We have officially filed paperwork with the Secretary of State requesting a recount. As of Tuesday, the vote differential in this race is 221 as compared to 440 on Election Night. That amounts to 0.28 percentage difference. Recounts are not automatic in Texas and require a payment based on number of precincts and other fees. We have—as part of the process—continued watching the count because every vote does matter! Our volunteer poll watchers have stayed in the Elections Office around the clock to make sure the count is transparent and fair. Because the unofficial election counting has included provisional, military and absentee ballots, we are only now able to request an official recount. Thank you to those who’ve served as poll watchers! We will need more so please send an email if you are available to serve to: info@joannafortexas.com We are also accepting contributions to the recount effort online or via mail to: 6333 E. Mockingbird Ln. Suite 147-537 Dallas, Texas 75214. Thank you for your support and encouragement! Let’s keep going. Team Joanna" Contribute
