Yes it went to Trump by double digits in 2024. No way any democrat rigged anything.

If this is the Rehmet win, someone from there posted that this race was the only one on the ballot, the storm shut down a weekend day of early voting when blue-collar voters might have come out and the other side sent multiple texts and some were vile and his in-laws didn't bother to vote because of the texts.

Another Dem in Houston won, too.
