This House seat has a 80% component of Hispanic voters and was since the 1950's a Democratic Party stronghold relying heavily on Latino voters. The District is in the Rio Grande vallue and borders Mexico. In 2016 the Democratic Party won the seat gaining 72% of the vote and in 2018 the majority getting 62% of the vote. The opinion pollsters recently still indicated that the District is a Solid Democratic district. In the 2020 election the Democrats won the election by 4 % points,
According to Politico Mayre Flores - the Republican Party candidate -won the Seat with an outright majority and there would not be a run-off election held. The official DP candidate got only 43,7% of the vote. Obviously CNN is still not admitting the win by the Republican Party candidate,
In the main the swing in this seat was more than 10% nd a disaster for the DP = but they would say they did not really expect their candidate to win and spent less money on their campaign than Flores - but they non-the-less think that Flores would have to face a run-off election in August 2022 - since they did not think that she would get 50% of the votes casted.
Anyway it was a horrible result for the DP - especially since the major point raised by the Democrats that Trump endorsed her and that she made some nasty remarks about election fraud - so she was made out as a Trump supporter, The voters ignored that and that confirms that all the nonsense of the House January 6 Committee cam e to very little insofar as the voters are concerned,
Obviously the DP supporters on site would not comment on this one since they are total idiots
