Collin County turns out to vote for historic results

This year’s mid-term elections have brought record turnout to Texas and Collin County. The spotlight is on Dallas suburbs like Plano, whose changing demographics and growing populations are making these cities a bellwether for the region. Over 9.5 million votes were cast across the states for a historic upset, placing Democratic candidates throughout the state’s highest elected offices in decades. This was the first time that Collin County went to a Democratic Senate candidate since 1970. Democratic candidates James Talarico, Gina Hinojosa, Vikki Goodwin and others all won their raises. Democrats also made major gains in the US House and Senate, securing a majority. Republicans have maintained a majority in the Texas Senate, but may be at risk of losing the State House race, which has not yet been called. Local Republican incumbent Congressional Representatives like Keith Self held on to their seats in single digit victories. Dallas area attorney Maeghan Whitehead signed up to act as a nonpartisan poll monitor for the Election Protection Coalition and was sent to the Harrington Library in Plano to ensure an orderly and accessible election. Her job for the day included keeping signs and picketers at least 100 feet from the voting site,

Your 2026 Voter Guide: See what’s on the ballot

On a weeknight in late October, a Dallas County resident can sit at a kitchen table with a sample ballot that runs longer than a grocery list. Judges, constables, bond proposals, and statewide offices appear in a sequence that rewards patience more than passion. That is the problem the Dallas Voter Guide is built to solve, and it is also the reason so many people abandon the lower half of the ballot. The Dallas Morning News has published its 2026 guide ahead of the November 3 election, with plain explanations of contests that rarely lead the evening news. For readers who want to vote the whole card rather than only the famous names, the timing matters. Early preparation is not a hobby reserved for political insiders. It is how ordinary residents avoid guessing once they step into the booth.

Review: Art of the New Deal explored at UT Dallas show

At the height of the Great Depression, between 1929 and 1939, 25% of the American workforce was unemployed. Banks failed and people lost homes and savings. With an estimated 45% living below the poverty line, hunger was widespread. Subsistence might depend on a bowl of soup dished out in long lines.
