It’s unclear how many ballots were missing from the county’s tally of votes.

It also remains unclear whether a recount would alter the outcome of any race.

THREAD: What happens when you start feeling sick during an infectious disease outbreak but you don't have health insurance?

Texas has the highest share of uninsured residents of any state.

Here’s how that complicates the #COVID19 response. bit.ly/2vU1xle
2/ Republican leaders in Texas have for years opposed expanding publicly funded health insurance coverage to the poor.

Roughly 5 million Texans don’t have health insurance — a disproportionately large share of people. bit.ly/2vU1xle
3/ Public health experts say financial constraints could prevent millions of Texans from seeing doctors to get tested or treated — or could make it difficult for them to stay home from work even if they feel ill. bit.ly/2vU1xle

A few updates on what's happening with my christackettnow webpage / dashboards. I'm changing the structure on some of the pages, which I hope will keep the info just as clear, but allow a deeper dive if that's what you are looking for. I'll detail changes below.
First up is a new page for Texas statewide races. I had done posts about statewide elements, but had not dedicated space on the site for them. That has changed. Gov, Lt Gov, Commish (RR, Ag and Land), Attny General, & Comptroller are all captured. bit.ly/txstatewide #txlege
Please note that since Greg Abbott is a freaking donation machine, the Statewide page can take a few seconds to load. Seriously. Abbott has had 77,733 donations since 01/01/2017. #txlege
