Election 2026

@keratx The Texas Supreme Court’s decision to separate votes in Dallas County cast after 7 p.m. Tuesday has raised questions about when, or perhaps even if, those those votes ultimately will be counted. The Supreme Court’s decision followed widespread confusion among Dallas County voters who apparently showed up a polling locations where they weren’t eligible to vote — and an order by a judge in Dallas County to extend voting hours. County elections officials notified potential voters online that “Democratic Party polling locations...would remain open until 9:00PM” and that Republican locations would close at 7 p.m. “as scheduled.” ✍️Marina Trahan Martinez Read the full story at link in bio. #northtexas #dallascounty #2026primaryelections ♬ original sound - KERA

@keratx Frederick Haynes III has won the Democratic nomination for Texas' 30th Congressional District — a seat currently occupied by outgoing congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. The Associated Press called the race for Haynes just after 10:15 p.m. Tuesday. In his campaign kickoff, he emphasized health care for all, economic equality and abolishing ICE as priorities. Haynes — a pastor and longtime activist for racial justice and civil rights — was endorsed by Crockett, as well as Tarrant County Commissioner Alisa Simmons and Kirk Johnson, son of Eddie Bernice Johnson. Johnson represented District 30 for three decades before Crockett. The pastor has led Friendship-West Baptist Church in southern Dallas for more than 40 years, and was the hand-picked successor of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson to lead the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the social justice organization founded by Jackson. But Haynes unexpectedly stepped down as President and CEO of the coalition after just months on the job. ✍️Emmanuel Rivas Valenzuela #2026primaries #FrederickHaynesIII #JasmineCrockett ♬ original sound - KERA
