Disaster for Democrats in TX06 special election.
I'm so angry right now because this is my district, (I live in the blue area of the map below). All Democrats in Arlington had to do was show up. I don't have the final turnout numbers. Several of these areas which are red are predominately Black and Hispanic. They were also blue in the presidential race.

TX06 will be a runoff between Susan Wright and Jake Elzie, both hard-right Trumpers.

Then, Arlington's mayor race is going to a runoff between Jim Ross and Michael Gillespie. Ross was the big business candidate and Gillespie is a Trumper.
