For years, Dallas County TX was a Republican county. Going back from 2004, it pretty much never voted for Democratic Presidents. It voted for Obama in 2008 an 2012.

Even more amazingly, it voted for Davis and Alameel this year. In a GOP wave year that saw big margins for the GOP candidates in those Texas races.

Kiss it goodbye, I'd say, which is indicative of a growing problem for that party. They need to hold onto suburbs to survive as a party.

Yes, and so is Travis (Davis won 63%!).

You have to go back considerably further (like, never) to find a time when Travis County was consistently Republican.
