I can�t help but believe that Crocket was not the best candidate to win. Polls just closed. Probably low reporting thus far.

But it looks like those areas are South East( Houston) and North East ( Dallas). Just a little of each. South West Dallas is for Crockett which makes sense on the demographic, North Dallas Talarico.

It's a hard choice because we don't want to choose the one we like, we want choose the one who will win.

Long shot supposedly but the key is to get a Dem win.
