Texas is on the verge of a historic disaster. Democrat James Tallarico leads Republican Ken Paxton about 59.5 percent to 39 percent, with about 53 percent of the votes counted, a difference of more than 1.1 million votes, according to AP and state data. Early and mail-in ballots drive the lead, and Election Day votes from Republican-leaning rural areas could narrow it. Democrats have not won a Senate race in Texas since 1988. South Carolina is equally prominent. Democrat Annie Andrews leads Sen. Darlene Graham 51.4% to 46.6% with about 81% counted, a difference of about 79,000 votes. Graham took over her late brother Lindsay Graham's seat in July, and Democrats last won a state Senate race in 1998. In Kansas, Republican Senator Roger Marshall went after the pastor. Adam Hamilton in early counts. No winner was screened in any of the three. The Democrats have already flipped North Carolina and held Georgia, Virginia and New Hampshire. Converting those three leads would complete the net gain of four seats they need, giving them 51 seats if they hold their remaining seats.
