In special election, GOP flips heavily Hispanic South Texas House seat: This qualifies as a political earthquake

This qualifies as a political earthquake.  In a special primary election to fill out the term of former rep. Filemon Vela, who resigned his House seat in March, GOP candidate Mayra Flores received 50.98% of the vote, making a runoff election unnecessary.  Rep.-elect Flores will represent the Texas 34 Congressional District that runs along the Gulf Coast to the Mexican border, and which is 84.54% Hispanic.

Hispanic voters are dumping the Democrats, a trend that has the potential to doom the party at a national level.

🚨BREAKING🚨

The first Mexican-born woman ever elected to Congress is REPUBLICAN @MayraFlores2022 who ran on a pro-borders, pro-patriotism, pro-God, and pro-family platform.

How's THAT for narrative-busting?

The Hispanic shift is real and we're just getting started. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/XxkwFBF8ME — Giancarlo Sopo (@GiancarloSopo) June 15, 2022

This historic win will bring back God to the halls of Congress! This win is for the people who were ignored for so long! This is a message that the establishment will no longer be tolerated! We have officially started the red wave!! #TX34

One has had too many tacos; and the other is yet another reminder that I am not gay.

How much of his votes were from mules and non profit skullduggery?

Sorry but not so sorry to say they may not be around in 24.

Although the new 34th district is more compact, the neighboring district appears to continue gerrymandering to benefit a specific representative.

Pretty good map of the Texas districts.

Does Mayra Flores election win change the balance of power in the House? I thought that the devil-rats only had a two vote majority.
