    I don’t even live in Texas, and I’m beyond thrilled and relieved!

    Up yours, Elon.

    This post is from almost an hour ago, and the video says it was from with only 23% reporting, and she keeps saying “if [Talarico] wins.” Numbers are holding, with Talarico up 59% to 39.5% with 55% of the votes in (per texastribune.org at 9:05 PM US Central time), but nobody has called this race yet.

        that is still not a call, and hence Local10 WPLG should not be headlining this “wins” just yet. c.f. Bush v. Gore

          Concur fully. Just providing a snapshot of the data. A dem candidate up by a million votes is still huge in Texas

    Our current best estimate is that Talarico is almost certain to win.
