Source? Because every time I've seen the polls the large cities might be turning purplish, but once you get outside the city limits they are all red.

- dredmorbius 5y agoOff the top of my head, Ballotpedia is among the more accessible. I'm not aware of a specific dataset, though I suspect that exists. https://ballotpedia.org/Texas_election_results,_2020 https://ballotpedia.org/Texas_election_results,_2020 Presidential margin was 631,221 votes. Texas House balance is 83/67. Majority is 150/2 + 1 = 76 seats. Minority needs a gain of 9. https://ballotpedia.org/Texas_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2020 https://ballotpedia.org/Texas_House_of_Representatives_elect... Texas Senate is 13/18, majority is |31/2| + 1 = 16 seats. Minority needs a gain of 3. https://ballotpedia.org/Texas_State_Senate_elections,_2020 https://ballotpedia.org/Texas_State_Senate_elections,_2020 Unfortunately, Ballotpedia doesn't give vote counts / majority per race.
