GOP Leader Quits in Last-Minute Revolt Against Party’s Pick

A Texas Republican leader has resigned after refusing to back her party’s scandal-plagued Senate nominee just days before the midterms. Hillary Shepheard, 34, who led the Young Republicans in Tarrant County, told The Atlantic in a story published Saturday that “Ken Paxton has to lose” for the sake of the GOP’s future. Paxton, the state’s three-term attorney general, was impeached on corruption charges, accused of cheating on his now ex-wife, and charged with securities fraud. The fraud charges were later dropped under an agreement requiring community service and ethics training. Read more at The Daily Beast.

Texas and Tarrant County voters wanted change. Not necessarily Democrats | Opinion

Absolutely nothing about high prices will change Jan. 1 when new faces take over at the Texas Capitol and the Tarrant County Courthouse. The reason we can’t afford gas or Cokes or lunch is in Washington, thinking up more expensive tariffs and wars and prison spending while he designs a $600 million ballroom . That was why voters really turned out Tuesday, and that’s obvious if you look. Texans elected Democrats everywhere who strongly defend public schools . But the same voters also turned down tens of billions of dollars in public school bonds, because whatever school districts want to build or buy, we can’t afford it right now. So this election was all about high prices, not policies. And the war. And establishment corruption. And big business influence, not just for data centers. There’s more to say about Tuesday, but I’ll keep it short: It wasn’t a Democratic mandate Texans still hate both political parties. Just because Texans elected Democrats this week doesn’t mean voters actually like them. Only 34% of Texans like the Democratic party overall, based on the Sept. 25-Oct. 5 University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll. Meanwhile, 41% of Texans — still less than half —

Texas law makes it easier to remove students from class. Experts question the impact

A Texas law that took effect last year gives teachers more authority to remove disruptive students from their classrooms. That may help teachers control their classrooms.

Fact Check: NBC KornackiCam Result Does NOT Prove Fraud -- Talarico Briefly Shown With 91.9% of Tarrant County Votes

Does a result briefly showing James Talarico with over 91.9% of the votes in the U.S. Senate race in Tarrant County, Texas, during KornackiCam on NBC prove fraud? No, that's not true: The discrepancy appears to be a data entry error involving a missing digit in Ken Paxton's vote count that was immediately questioned on air and revised a few minutes later. There's no evidence that the incorrect numbers were part of any intentional effort to manipulate the election results.
