John -- I’ve stayed in close contact with Team Cisneros this week, and I can tell you, Jessica is determined to see this through until every vote is counted.
Here’s what’s happening:
Some people’s ballots were disqualified on Election Day for various reasons (signature not matching, etc.). Anyone who cast a vote that was disqualified now has a window of opportunity to “cure” their ballot, meaning, to correct whatever the deficiency is so their vote will be counted.
That’s a complicated process, and Texas election law deliberately makes it hard for people to know what their rights are. So Jessica’s team is reaching out to voters who’ve been disenfranchised and making sure they have the information they need.
There are also still mail-in ballots to process, more than enough to swing the outcome of the election. And until every single one is counted, we won’t know the real vote margin.
Lastly, the margin as it stands (which we expect to narrow) is well within the bounds of a recount under Texas election law.
A recount would cost a considerable amount of money and additional time – resources that could be better spent on defeating the Republican candidate in the general election. So, we’re hoping for a clear resolution when every vote is counted.
What’s important to know is that Jessica is not giving up – and neither are we.
While we’re continuing to work with Jessica’s team, we’re also focused on the upcoming elections for four BNC candidates on June 7th:

Angélica Dueñas (CA-29)
Shervin Aazami (CA-32)
Tom Winter (MT-01)
Imani Oakley (NJ-10)

Each of these elections has unique challenges, and we stand ready to support our candidates no matter what the establishment throws at them.
That’s why I need to ask for your support today: we are still $6,678 short of our May fundraising goal, and we have 5 days left to close the gap. Will you pitch in $25 (or any amount) right now so we have the resources needed to support our candidates? [[link removed]]

Henry Cuellar may have smugly declared victory on election night, but he stands completely alone on that claim. Not a single media outlet has called the race in his favor – in fact, all of them report it as too close to call.
The stakes in this election are high and we are staying the course. No matter the outcome in TX-28 or any other race, BNC will continue to fight for justice and equal representation for all.

Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. We invest EARLY to help grassroots candidates succeed. We recruited and elected AOC in 2018 and Cori Bush in 2020 alongside Jamaal Bowman and Rashida Tliab. And we have our first win of 2022: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick won her primary by FIVE votes thanks to BNC.
We have elections from now until November, and our candidates are counting on your support. Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
