31 point swing back towards the Democrats as Latino voters swing back towards the Democrats. How likely does this make the gerrymander look like a bad decision in the long run, only time will tell. Also this
> Wambsganss had the endorsement of Trump and other top-level Republicans. The swing came despite her vastly outspending Rehmet in the race; since the end of October her campaign had spent more than $1 million to his $177,000, according to campaign reports.

Lockheed Martin Union Leader! I work at another facility but thats good news.
Those machinists are ripe for Democrats but they gotta work on their outreach. As I’ve said before, while probably rarer now, some of these workers have lost work due to competition with Mexico for certain parts. Certain work is allowed in Mexico for the Defense/Aero so strong emphasis on keeping this work domestic is heavily supported politically.
Curious if we’ll see Texas Dems who are more likely to support this more protectionist agenda.

People need to realize the state Senate Senate are gerrymandered like crazy. Tarrant county is about as purple as purple can be and the GOP is doing the utmost to ratfuck Tarrant County through County district .politics.
The Tarrant county GOP is going insane because they are desperate to try and maintain fort worth as the largest city in the country the GOP can still win.

What was voter turnout and was there any odd local issue that might explain this?
