This Week in Texas: Wednesday, November 4th, 2020
The Results Are In… kinda!
The results of Election Day 2020 are in… kinda! Here are the fast and furious results of yesterday’s election. These are the numbers as of 6:00am on Wednesday morning. We wanted you to start your day knowing what we know so far!
We will continue to update you on breaking news and results throughout today and week. For more detailed information, go to the Secretary of State’s website here.
Hot takeaways from last night’s election:
- During early voting in Texas, 9,717,604 people — 57.3% of registered voters — voted in person and by mail, surpassing the total number of votes cast in 2016.
- Biden performed well in large suburban counties that used to be reliably Republican, but he failed to notch wide margins of victory in some critical Democratic strongholds, massively underperforming Hillary Clinton in the mostly Hispanic Rio Grande Valley.
- 2020 proved another disappointment for the Texas Democrats as Republicans remained dominant in Texas, appearing poised to maintain victories in all statewide offices and both chambers of the Legislature.
- U.S. Sen. John Cornyn won a fourth term in the Senate, fending off a challenge from Democrat MJ Hegar.
- U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Austin) won his bid for reelection over Democratic challenger Wendy Davis.
- In the Texas Senate, the Democrats flipped 1 seat – Sen. Pete Flores (R-Pleasanton) was defeated by Democrat Roland Gutierrez. The Senate will now have 18 Rs and 13 Ds.
- Republicans seemed poised to hold onto their majority in the Texas House on Tuesday, fighting off a well-financed attempt by Democrats to flip the lower chamber for the first time in nearly two decades.
- The race in the House has produced one loss for the Republicans, Rep. Sarah Davis, and one loss for the Democrats, Rep. Gina Calanni (both of Houston). The Texas House would remain 83 Rs and 67 Ds.
OK, here we go!
