I would similarly ask the OP why a year old story from a conservative blog was regurgitated now. It seems less preposterous that it got a dozen recommends, since most people don't follow the links...

Here's an update.

She filed to run for county district attorney two days after she resigned as judge...

She lost to the incumbent in the GOP primary in the spring of this year:

"During the party primaries, there were three other local opposed races on the ballot, all on the Republican side. In the Polk County Criminal District Attorney's race, incumbent Lee Hon easily won the nomination for another four-year term, defeating former District Judge Elizabeth Coker. Hon garnered 3,909 votes (66.64%) while Coker was given 1,957 votes (33.36%)."

At this time she appears to be practicing law in Livingston (Texas).
