TEXAS: SUPREME COURT AND COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
There are six judicial seats on the ballot across the state's two high courts. All are held by GOP judges, which has won every statewide race since 1994, judicial and otherwise.
Democrats are fielding a candidate in all six-that's better for them than in 2022-and a confluence of factors may at least give them a shot. For one, the aftershocks of the state's abortion ban are making judicial politics a bit more salient. Then, there's the fact that three incumbent Court of Appeals judges were ousted in the GOP primary, an unusual result driven by Attorney General Ken Paxton and his far-right allies' bid to punish justices who restricted his ability to initiate voter fraud prosecutions.
Finally, Supreme Court Justice John Devine, a staunch conservative challenged by Democrat Christine Weems, faces allegations about his ethics.
Still, Texas' red lean will be difficult for the Namneratin candidate to noren
