This map could either be triggering or a thing of rose-colored beauty.
after an election that saw Gov. Greg Abbott decisively defeat Democrat Beto O'Rourke to win a third term, this map could either be triggering or a thing of rose-colored beauty.The map suggests that Democrats are making little headway — or even moving in the wrong direction.Abbott beat little-known Democrat Lupe Valdez by a similar margin in 2018.
O'Rourke won fewer counties this election than when he ran against U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018 — 19 counties this year, compared to 32 in 2018.In his bid for the Senate seat, O'Rourke flipped historically red suburban counties like Williamson, Fort Bend and Hays. But this time around, Abbott narrowly defeated O'Rourke in Williamson County. Democrats hung onto Fort Bend and Hays this election, although by a slimmer margin than in 2018.The governor's race underscores Republican dominance in statewide politics for years to come.
