Voters significantly thin RINO population in elected office in Texas, incl. House speaker | Eastern North Carolina Now

The RINO Speaker of the Texas House, Rep. Dade Phelan,has been forced into a runoff for reelection in his district, as more than a dozen of his allies lost primaries or were also forced into runoffs by conservative challengers.  Phelan has been widely criticized for his deals with Democrats and his failing to advance conservative legislation, particularly on education.  In his own House district, Phelan ran second with 43% of the vote, while conservative challenger and former Orange County GOP chairman David Covey led the field with 46% and an anti-tax crusader took 11% and is expected to endorse Covey.

Also in Texas, liberal Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales, who has upset GOP voters with his increasingly liberal positions on guns and immigration, has also been forced into a runoff.  Gonzales was held to 45% of the vote in a district that runs along the western two thirds of the Rio Grande on the border with Mexico.  He will face Brandon Herrera, a small businessman who manufactures firearms in the runoff.

Also in Texas, three judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals were voted out of office and replaced by conservatives after they ruled that the Texas Attorney General did not have jurisdiction to prosecute criminal viiolations of the election laws.  That would have left enforcement up to local prosecuters, and in some big cities in Texas, those are biased Soros prosecutors.  It is unusual for judges to be voted out in Texas any time, but all three on one court up for election was remarkable, and it was their ruling on the AG's authority on election law violations that led voters to oust them.
