Anything to say about the Texas Senate Primary vote, the other week where Ted Cruz got twice the amount the Democrat candidate did?
Ted Cruz got 1.3 Million votes btw.
Nothing to say about the Tennessee State Senate Seat, GOP candidate won pretty big margin of votes there? |
It's a State race, so there is no automatic recount.

State law doesn't automatically mandate a recount because it is a single district and not a statewide race, according to Wanda Murren, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of State.

A tie is when contestants finish at the same time or score the same number of points - in this case, one got more votes than the other, so that's a win, not a tie...
Ted Cruz vs Democrat - erm, they were in separate Primaries for being the Republican or Democrat candidate - they weren't competing against each other...
Tennessee State Senate seat - very safe Republican seat - mind you, so were Alabama and Penn District 18 supposed to be...
