What's up, everybody. It's an election night. I love an election night. I used to really love election nights until Donald Trump started winning elections, and they're a little triggering now. But I do still love them deep down inside. I'm Tim Miller. I'm here with Sarah Longwell, publisher of the Bullwark, JVL, editor, author of the Triad Newsletter. All of our girl Lauren Egan coming in here in a little bit.

She's been covering the Dems.

And we just want to do a little live podcasting, live streaming with you on a big election night.

Set the table here.

Big win for the eight-year-old girls basketball team.

I coach the Honey Badgers tonight.

I know that's what you guys are going to hear about.

It's been a tough season, but things are clicking right as we get to play off um okay anyway tim's working the refs that's why i was working the rest and it was working baby we got

big w tonight okay on to the actual news you're here for the um the texas senate race is uh It's the one that we're most focused on. There'll be a couple other races we're monitoring. Returns are coming in on both the Republican and the Democratic side. We had a delay, I guess the big news of the night is that in Dallas County, the Republicans don't know how to run elections or don't care. I don't know if this is this kind of news to you guys. But in Dallas County, there was like mass voter confusion. One of my buddies lives there, so I was texting about it. It's like the vote at the election site was down. If you, a lot of places where people usually went to vote, you weren't allowed to vote there because they changed the rules.

You had to go to your precinct. And a lot of people tried to vote weren't able to. So they extended it an hour. I think that in particular, I think Jasmine Crockin's campaign is interested in that because it's our home base. It's her base of support in Dallas. So that might delay us a little bit tonight. That's the big news. the early results here.

We're looking pretty favorable for James Tolerico. in Dallas. So that might delay us a little bit tonight. That's the big news. The early results

here, we're looking pretty favorable for James Tilarico, just to be blunt. Not over yet,

but if you look at the Kalshi prediction markets, they've basically called it for Tala rica already.

Dave Wasserman over at Kirk Political is very sober mind that he says it's looking like

Tala Rico. The broad swaths of that, and then I'll go to you guys kind of weigh in,

is Crackett continues to do well with a voting base of black voters, older black voters in particular.

She's doing well in a lot of the counties that Joe Biden did well in in the 2020, Texas primary,

where he beat Bernie, but it was a more of a, it was a bigger field, right?

So a lot of other other vote was fractured.

Talrico is doing well as expected, like around Austin.

He's running up Saddam Hussein numbers in Austin.

He's up 7623 there right now.
