Uh with 80% counted, Talarico appears to have won the Texas senate race over Paxton by 14%.

For comparison, the Republicans won the last two senate races there by 10 and 8%. This represents a 22% to the Democrats.

My best case scenario estimate may not have been optimistic enough.

Great result. I hope my bigoted former neighbour is losing her fucking mind over this. An Evangelical, anti-choice, special needs teacher, disabled and raised in a hateful Republican family. She moved to Texas from NM because of politics and the prochoice stance of NM Democrats. She’s the one who threatened to shoot liberals, posted it on Facebook. I reported her.
