We’re home and have voted, in our continuing effort to turn Texas purple. That’s a tall order because Texas has been so red for so long. The good news (for us) is that Texas has moved a couple points toward blue each of the last several election cycles. The bad news for everyone is that since the races feel more contested this year, money has poured in, and political commercials have inundated our televisions. Thankfully, we have mute buttons and fast forward to get us the rest of the way through.
