Scott Colom, a Black Democrat, has flipped Forrest County—named for Ku Klux Klan founding grand wizard Nathan Bedford Forrest—by a 54%-44% margin.
Trump won it 58%-40% in 2024.
It's the county where the KKK murdered civil rights worker Vernon Dahmer.

Collectively, those states account for 628 troops in D.C.

Tarrant County was Texas' largest county dominated by the GOP.
Last night, that streak ended as Democrats swept countywide races and a redistricting to make the county commissioners court more Republican backfired.
