Texas is such a non-voting state that it can be hard to pin down interference. Republican control is out of all proportion to their numbers because of a faithful and dedicated voter base that turns out every election no matter how seemingly inconsequential. Until Democrats can begin to match that, we will be hard-pressed to make any kind of case for foreign influence. Just my opinion.
