It was a packed conference room inside the James Earl Rudder State Office Building in downtown Austin, where TX Secretary of State Myra McDaniel addressed reporters on the uncertainty of the hotly-contested TX gubernatorial election of 1986. "I understand there is serious allegations of voter intimidation, aggressive tactics in terms of not putting polling stations in particular precincts, voters not getting put in their proper voting precinct, disenfranchisement, etc., I want to be very & strongly clear: there is no place for voting intimidation, disenfranchising Texans of their basic right to vote in elections, or any other disgusting, despicable act of heinous sinister intent of any kind whatsoever. After discussion with our legal team of the TX Secretary of State's Office & procedures in moving forward, I have concluded that there will be a statewide recount in all 254 counties beginning sometime this week. More details will come out later on this week as we're going to cross our I's & dot our T's until we can officially declare a winner."3:37 PM CST, Wednesday, November 5th, 1986
