5. Yes, but doesn't she have to pay for that recount?

I know that the Justice Democrats were trying to raise $250,000 for a recount; however, in the email solicitation it also stated that half of the money raised will actually go to Justice Democrats rather than Cisneros.

Cisneros performed poorly in both Starr and Duval counties during the primary as well as the runoff. If this is where Cisneros believes that she can cut the lead, then she may not reach her fundraising goal.
