| In a tale of the bizarre, Republican Bryan Walker is determined to keep the 2008 election cycle going.
Walker has challenged the election in House District 11 and the subsequent recount. His challenge, filed with the Secretary of State today, would put the authority to seat Democrat Chuck Hopson in the hands of the Texas House.
Hopson won the election by 200 votes after the recount (more than Republican Linda Harper-Brown).
According to Vince, the last candidate to file a similar challenge was in 2005 when Talmadge Heflin refused to accept his defeat at the hands of State Rep. Hubert Vo.
This is what happens when speakers politics and sore losers collide.
