GREAT NEWS: In yet another Democratic upset, Alex Holladay has defeated his Republican opponent in the special election to represent Arkansasβs House District 70.
This is a flip from π΄ to π΅.
JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!
Context:
Evidently there is a ballot board that will make the decisions about whether the votes after 7 pm count. The source: Dallas county Republican Party nixed county voting places, as opposed to precinct voting. People didnt know where to vote, as precincts where not updated after the maps were changed.

I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran.
I was worried before, but Iβm more worried now.
Wow!! Paxton - who is a candidate for the same Senate race, as Crockett, just got the Texas Supreme Court to pause the extension of time for Democratic voters to vote in Dallas, an extension a lower court granted for 2 hours because of confusion all day. Paxton clearly wants to make trouble.
