Republicans appear to keep majority of Texas House

With the GOP’s majority in the Texas House on the line and Democrats within striking distance of flipping the chamber for the first time in nearly two decades, the stakes of this general election are huge. The balance of power set in Tuesday’s election will define an upcoming legislative session that lawmakers say will be their toughest in years. The issues before them will include a budget strained by recession, state responses to the pandemic and a once-ina-decade redistricting process — always a divisive and partisan affair.

Elections Administrator Jennifer Southard noted that some precincts started off with a big jump, while others showed no big increase. According to the early voting, which ended Friday, Oct. 30, 6,860 registered voters cast their vote early out of a total of 13,963 registered voters in Limestone County, which means 43.98 percent voted early.
