Analysis
Short posts on races, turnout, and what Tuesday means today — calm and factual. Independent. Not a PAC.
Split Capitol: Dem House, GOP Senate
Democrats flipped the Texas House (first since ~2003, per AP/Tribune framing). Republicans held the Senate. Add a Dem statewide row on unofficial tallies and the January math gets real. Agenda already live: public schools / vouchers, abortion, THC, Medicaid. Bill prefiling starts Mon Nov 9. Axios Dallas
SCOTX: four seats won, court still 5–4
Democrats won all four Texas Supreme Court seats on the ballot. Republicans still hold a 5–4 majority. Winning every seat up is not the same as taking the court. Texas Tribune
Canvass calendar
Local canvass: earliest Fri Nov 6 through Tue Nov 17. State canvass for federal/statewide races follows later. Recount requests are timed from the actual canvass — not automatic except ties. SOS Advisory 2026-28
