Within a few hours of being sued, DOJ agrees not to interfere in Texas election | Texas
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) agreed not to interfere with Texas‘s election process after being sued by Texas officials. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order to enforce this. The DOJ planned to monitor compliance with federal voting rights in 86 jurisdictions but was prohibited from polling places in Texas. Texas officials, led by Attorney General Ken Paxton, argued that state law governs monitoring elections. The DOJ and Texas reached an agreement allowing monitors outside polling locations but maintaining compliance with Texas law. The state’s lawsuit against the DOJ remains active until after the election.

Do celebrity endorsements impact the election?
SUMMARY: Election Day has arrived, and experts are discussing potential voting trends. SMU political science professor Matthew Wilson explains the concepts of “red mirage” and “blue shift,” where early counts may misleadingly show Republican leads due to state ballot counting laws. With increased Republican participation in early voting, differences between pre-election and Election Day results may be less dramatic. Celebrity endorsements at rallies can attract crowds, but are not likely to be decisive. Texas‘ Senate race is under national scrutiny, with expectations for potential party shifts in the Senate and House, as well as the likelihood of lawsuits impacting results.

Dallas residents push for amendment to hire 900 more police officers
SUMMARY: Voters in Dallas are lining up to vote on the “hero amendments” initiated by the nonpartisan group Dallas Hero, which gathered 170,000 signatures. Proposition S allows residents to sue the city for failure to comply with laws, while Proposition T establishes a community satisfaction survey affecting the city manager‘s role. The most contentious is Proposition U, mandating that 50% of new city revenue fund police and fire pensions, and increasing police hiring significantly. Supporters argue these measures will enhance safety and accountability, but former mayors and current council members warn of potential negative impacts on city operations.
The Dallas Charter Amendment focuses on public safety and would require 50% of all new city to go towards police and fire pensions. It also requires Dallas police to have 3 officers per 1,000 citizens.
