    Article title now says “leads”. Are they leaving room for a challenge/Trump to overturn the vote?

      Probably just means they’re less confident. Election “results” on election night are all just predictions after all.

    This post is from almost an hour ago, and the video says it was from with only 23% reporting, and she keeps saying “if [Talarico] wins.” Numbers are holding, with Talarico up 59% to 39.5% with 55% of the votes in (per texastribune.org at 9:05 PM US Central time), but nobody has called this race yet.
