Republican Adam Hinojosa requested a recount Wednesday in his hard-fought race for a state Senate seat in South Texas. Hinojosa lost the race for Senate District 27 after finishing 659 votes behind Democrat Morgan LaMantia, according to official results that were released Monday. There were 175,415 total votes in the election.

“In any election with such a small margin of victory, even very small mistakes in the counting of the vote could have enough impact to change the final result,” Hinojosa said in a statement. He added he was asking for a recount in three counties “in which there were large numbers of paper or mail-in ballots.” His recount petition says the three counties are the ones at the highly populated southern end of the district in the Rio Grande Valley: Cameron, Hidalgo and Willacy counties.

Top Democrat demands financial data from Binance, other crypto firmsA top Senate Democrat on Tuesday pressed Binance and other major cryptocurrency exchanges to explain how they would protect their customers in the event of a financial calamity, as Washington braces for further fallout from the collapse of FTX. Ah yes, hearings and grandstanding after all the FTX donations to Dems have already been spent on the election. Crypto is an artifact produced by block chain tech. There is no real utility, value or growth (except if bigger fools opt into the Ponzi scheme). The scheme has reached its zenith and will deflate from here. Democrats just need to go to the DNC for FTX’s financials and include searching for Ukraine’s use pf the $billions they sent to that country.
