Why parts of west Harris County stayed red on Election Day

While Democrats won most of Harris County on Tuesday, a stretch of west Harris County near the Katy Freeway stood out as a Republican stronghold. In the Senate race, the majority of voters inside the Beltway supported the Democratic candidate. The villages just south of the Katy Freeway were a notable exception, appearing as what one voter described as a red island in a sea of blue. Beth Payne, a voter who lives in the area, said the broader results saddened her. "I'm a little disappointed. A little disappointed, but hope things will turn around," Payne said. As for why the area leans so heavily Republican, Payne pointed to the people who live there. "The reason it's ruby red is it's got a lot of people who have great values and are hard-working," she said. Rice University political science professor Mark Jones said the explanation goes further than that.

The villages, he said, have more single-family homes. "That's a group of people are also very in tune to property taxes, in which case

The polls missed Texas again. This time by twice as much. The other way.

We told you two things about the Texas polls: they missed the final results by three to five points in each of the last three statewide elections and that nobody could tell you who was going to win. Turns out we were more right on that last part than we thought.

Texas students build trailers in Houston rodeo welding contest

Twenty teams from across Texas put their metalworking skills to the test during an eight-hour trailer-building contest, where youth participants measured, cut and welded steel into small utility trailers. The teams competed in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s Agricultural Mechanics contest. Each team had four members, who were evaluated on blueprint reading, weld quality, craftsmanship and how quickly they completed the build. The contest connects agricultural mechanics classrooms and labs with the welding and metal fabrication industry. The Agricultural Mechanics Committee provided an estimated $90,000 in prizes for the 20 teams. Teams will take their trailers home to finish fitting them. They can return completed projects to compete in a specialized class at the Ag Mechanics Project Show in March.
