Joseph Locke, author of "One State Under God: A History of Religion in Texas," discusses how politics and religion have long been intertwined in the Lone Star state, why Talarico's messaging was so effective in the primary, and how it could impact the general Election in November.

Voter turnout in North Texas on Election Day for the primaries was up, largely due to Democratic voters.

Denton County’s primary turnout diverged from statewide trends in the March 3 elections. While Democrats cast more ballots statewide, Republicans narrowly led locally. Overall turnout reached 25.6%, with Democratic participation surging compared with recent primaries.

The ballot board worked through the weekend and into Monday evening to review which of nearly 2,000 provisional ballots to accept or reject.
