This is the district most affected earlier this year when the courts ruled certain congressional districts did not meet the standards of the Voting Rights Act. Translated, that means there weren't enough Hispanic Democrats in the district, as the district was already electing a Hispanic.
So, Pub precincts in north San Antonio were removed, and Dem precincts in south San Antonio were added to the district. Rodriguez was the congressman from a neighboring district, who was unseated two years ago in the Dem primary by Henry Cuellar.
In past elections, the late boxes would come in for Bonilla. Tonight, it looks like the lines are going to defeat him.
That's a bad thing.
I was working out of town during the early voting and today so I didn't get to vote. My girlfriend (used to be my ex-wife) couldn't vote either and my son is at border patrol academy so he couldn't vote either.
That would have been 3 votes for Bonilla, but doesn't look like it would haved mattered as he is losing big. Personally i think he ran a lousy campaign and never had a chance.
