Abbot still won Tarrant easily (and Trump won it).
But Ford Bend is very worrisome. I was certain Cruz would lose it but Abbot nearly losing it was a shock (and Hillary’s margin there wasn’t small), that means it’s not just turning against “unpopular” Republicans but against Republicans in general. Dems running for AG (that race was almost as close as Senate) and LT Governor carried it (and maybe other statewide races as well, I can’t find county results for them) and the rats elected (an Afro-American) DA and ousted the longtime GOP County Judge. I see a mirror of DuPage county Illinois.
Did DuPage County’s demographics change so that it now is heavily minority (with large numbers of blacks, Asians and Hispanics)? Because that’s what happened to Fort Bend County.
