Trump leads Clinton by around 7 points right now, but there are an awful lot of counties that haven’t reported any results where Republican vote percentages resemble West Texas speed limit signs, so expect his lead to grow. Libertarian Johnson at 2.8%, most ever for a Libertarian candidate in Texas.
CD23: Hurd 50-45 (7% reporting, but some counties still not reporting early vote)
RRC: Christian 52-40. Libertarian Mark Miller at 4.98%. Needs 5% to guarantee the party ballot access for 2018.
