Recount requested by Texas GOP loser
Heflin is the ass who tried to steal his housekeepers baby because a while republican couple could obviously do a better job of raising an african american baby than the baby's mother. Luckily, a GOP family law judge ruled against him.

Now Heflin is contesting the 32 vote win by Herbert Vo. See http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/2914444

State Rep. Talmadge Heflin is seeking a manual recount of all ballots cast earlier this month in his unsuccessful bid for a 12th term in the Legislature, his lawyer said Monday....

But Taylor's allegations could provide a basis for contesting the election before the state House of Representatives. Heflin and his supporters have until the end of Wednesday to decide whether to file such a contest.

Contesting the election in the state House would force lawmakers either to seat Vo or overturn the election and require a new vote. Although there have been several requests for election contests in the Texas House in recent years, most were withdrawn and none has reversed an election result.
