UPDATE: Voters in Uvalde County, where the state's deadliest mass school shooting happened five months ago and sparked calls for change in Texas government and gun reform, voted 22 percent in favor of Gov. Greg Abbott over Beto O'Rourke, 60 to 38 percent in final votes.
DMN endorsing Abbott: “But his time in office has seen Texas become stronger even as we have faced major challenges.”

This is what happens when one white kid with a single #BlackLivesMatter sign stands on the street in Harrison, Arkansas.

.@BetoORourke BLASTS Abbott for refusing to allow the Uvalde parents, or anyone, in the debate theater, and doing NOTHING to make Texans safer since the tragedy.
