House math update: I currently count 22 Dem flips and 13 GOP holds among competitive races. That gives Democrats an 84-seat majority.
Also, I count 10 flipped seats and 7 holds that finished within 1.5%. This could've been a lot better for Rs... and a lot worse for them, too. #txlege

Statement to @TXBullpen from state Rep. @JaredLPatterson in response to Lt. Gov. @DanPatrick’s comments about his READER Act passed in 2023.
Calls the Attorney General Office’s legal defense of the law “paltry.” #txlege
Replying to @lmcgaughy
Q: How is this different than the READER act?
Patrick: That law was deemed unconstitutional.
Ms. Wallace says the books are “dark, demonic content.”
