And congratulations, District 50 Democratic Party! Some may poo-poo what I say here, but this a good omen.
Go Texas! Go Democrats everywhere! GOTV 2014! 
I wondered how that election would turn out since the polling locations at school buildings were closed due to the weather. It was great that they went to a vote at any open location policy to make up for the fact that so many locations were impacted.
