Jorge and Jeannine Valle attend a rally for U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Republican Congressional candidate Cassy Garcia in Selma last week.Republicans will keep their one-party grip on Texas for at least a third decade after a clean sweep Tuesday for Gov. Greg Abbott and other statewide incumbents. Red voters are celebrating, and with good reason: To the victors go the spoils.
Why? A voter suppression bill passed in last year’s special session by Republicans limited the power of county election officials to offer innovative paths to the polls.

So citizens endure three-hour drives of 75 miles, further contributing to worsening air quality and inflationary spending at the gas pump. in the per capita number of citizens locked up. More than 250,000 people are behind bars in Texas, a number equal to all the people who live in Laredo., a data-driven public policy organization focused on the state’s growth and welfare, and its many opportunities and challenges, as the bicentennial approaches in 2036.
