Check to see if there’s any write in campaigns against them
It would be so funny if a person named Allred turns texas at least blue for senate. The senate race is looking really close, so even if it doesn’t flip blue for president, that texas senate races matters a lot. If TX senate flips, it makes keeping the senate blue so much easier
