Tonight in Austin, progressive Greg Casar won a decisive victory in the Democratic primary

[elleng]

for Texas’s 35th District, virtually ensuring his election in a safe blue district.

Casar avoided a runoff by winning over 50% of the vote on a bold agenda for working families: Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, affordable housing, and protecting our democracy.

2. So far the only results being reported are for early voting.

I've been checking the Texas SOS site for updated results and that data should be considered more accurate than the NYT page.

I don't believe that the race has been declared for Casar yet since only 5 out of 254 precincts have reported.

7. I think that they jumped the gun with that email

considering that most of the votes haven't been counted. So far Bexar county hasn't reported any totals and oen of the candidates is from there. Only 5 out of 254 precincts have reported in the entire district. It's far too early for anyone to call the election.

5. Counties.

As of now most of the counties have posted. District 35 may have been on the east side of Texas and wrapped up counting mostly by the time of the report. 58% to around 17% & 16%, for the next two closest.

6. District 35 is in central Texas running along the Interstate 35 corridor

between Austin and San Antonio. Nearly all the votes that have been counted are from early voting. Zero out of 148 precincts in Bexar county (San Antonio) have reported and one of the candidates in the race is a San Antonio councilwoman.

I'll rely on the data from the Texas SOS. Any claims of victory at this point are nonsense with such a large percentage of the vote uncounted.
