GOP Offer in Texas Rejected by Democrats

In Austin, Democrats rejected a Republican plan for a sample recount of general election ballots in six representative counties. Republicans warned they would drop their contest if the recount did not show Nixon-Lodge leads of at least 2.8 percent, prompting criticism from Leon Jdaworski who said sampling should not determine an election. The state Board of Canvassers, under a federal restraining order, considered a Democratic request to dismiss the contest while chiding GOP counsel Hardy Kollers for filing the suit and securing the order.
