re Beto...look at it this way....
Cruz won his seat in 2012 with around 56%.
Now, with only 1/2 of precincts reporting is 51-52 percent at 11pm.
That's 4 or 5 points lost. He was only ahead by 100k votes or so for early voters.
It's just a matter of time...Tarrant County (Fort Worth) was super close, too.
Wish O'Rourke would have won, but it wasn't the usual landslide.
Sessions is out in the house too, so there's that, thank goodness.
Burgess is my rep...I'm tired of his BS, but the party at least had a candidate
up against him. We'll get there.
Sucks, but we'll get there
Edit: State of Texas election results for those interested.
