Disputed Texas Congressional Race Back in Court

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - A disputed U.S. congressional race in south Texas is going to court again after an appeals court decided the votes in the Democratic primary should be re-examined, the candidates said on Thursday.

A three-judge panel of the Texas 4th Court of Appeals on Wednesday overturned a lower-court decision that gave a 58-vote victory to challenger Henry Cuellar.

The appellate court said the lower court must allow three-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez to present evidence that several hundred voters in the March 9th primary were unqualified because they did not live in the 28th Congressional District.

1. YAY! That's great news.

Cuellar was predicted to be DINO.
