It was 2 am and as the last guest was leaving, he asked "are you sure that you don't want me to stay with you guys?" They said "No, but thanks and we'll let you know when we hear." It had been a long night of listening to election returns and Roxanne Lara was barely ahead with the absentee and early votes still out.

Four hours later, Roxanne learned that she won by exactly 250 votes.https://emergeamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-49.png1200630
