SUMMARY: On election day, a cold front brings widespread showers and thunderstorms across Southeast Texas, with substantial rainfall totaling over two inches in some areas. The heaviest rain is expected until about 10:30 AM, affecting traffic, especially on major highways. Temperatures are in the 70s, dropping from near 80 earlier. After the storms, some breaks in the clouds are anticipated, with lingering chances of spotty showers.

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.
