In the Democratic primary for congressional district 10 – where either Dan Grant or Larry Joe Doherty will go on to face Republican Rep. Michael McCaul in November – the slow trickle of results has candidates on edge. However, and contrary to the endorsements he racked up, Grant – who should count progressive Travis County in his column – got beat in early voting 14,148 to 10,150.
With reports of Travis voting and caucusing absolutely insane, the sky-high turn out is seemingly keeping precincts from reporting. Waiting on results to come in from the other counties in the district, sprawling to the east – Austin, Bastrop, Burleson, Harris, Lee, Waller and Washington has been singularly slow as well.
For CD 10, it looks like it’s gonna be a long night
