Get Fucking Over It

We have an election that was won by 42 votes here in Harris County. One of the nice things about the recount was that it got to demonstrate to everyone that our electronic voting system (called eSlate) DOES generate a paper record. Of course the asshole Republican wouldn't let it go and has asked the legislature to overturn the entire election based on unspecified allegations of voter fraud and the hearing will be January 27.
