I expect to see more red migration to nearby suburbs (Sugar Land, Friendswood, Woodlands, etc) while Harris County will go deeper blue.
I dont see a lot of red migration to Fort Bend. That county is blue and full of foreigners. While I know most Republicans are not bother by foreign people, a not insignificant number are.

I think Montgomery County, Chambers County, and Galveston County will explode with red migrants though.

In general, I would agree. But I do think some of the folks that will leave don't necessarily care about whether the county is red or blue. Most of Sugarland is pretty safe so I could see some migration there. I would happily move to Sugarland but I prefer the Woodlands overall.

I was thinking you were already on the trip. You raise an interesting conundrum. We may need a fix. I'd suggest writing your state rep and senator. Is it really only Texas that makes this so difficult?

That's your opinion, many disagree..... but in my utopian political hierarchy- I'd have a right leaning President that defers to the states to let them decide what is best for their state, State leaders (Governor, Senators, etc.) that are moderate and capable of hearing both sides of the aisle without acting like a spoiled 5 year olds when they don't get their way (left or right) and then more progressive at the city level to protect what works best for THEIR city as THEY know best- infrastructure/city planning, transit, quality of life and the other multitude of issues that come with being a premiere world city.


I'd never vote straight ticket...ever!

Well I do agree there. If there’s anything good in the terrible 2 party system, it’s that the two balance eachother out. Unfortunately, it turned politics into a battle of memes

I cannot believe its been 3 days since the election and we still do not know who has the majority in either house of Congress. In my lifetime, I have never seen counting take this long for a midterm. Even Harris County with all of its incompetence got their votes counted within a day.

My understanding is that it usually takes this long to count. They're still counting Harris County. What is taking long is the projection, in a number of these races, because they're close. So, not incompetence. Just close races. Anyway that's how they explained it on the news this morning.

When did it ever take this long to know the result of a mid-term or even a pre-2020 POTUS election (other than 2000 which was a special case)? My recollection in 2018 we knew the results the next day. Perhaps there were a couple close races that required recounts before finalizing but as it stands now there are 28 House races and 2 Senate seats that still have yet to be called after 3 days of counting. I cannot recall that ever happening before.
