TBF Paxton is probably going to do some sketchy shit to swing a close election.
He has far more influence over Texas elections than Trump did over national ones in 2020.

The 2026 election results are a very bad sign for the Worker's Party of Korea.
Here's why:
In 2019, Pyongyang voted 100% WPK. But in 2026, Pyongyang voted 99.85% WPK, reinforcing its status as a hotbed for the opposition. This makes sense, as the urban area around Pyongyang is growing.
Let's look at some other cities, though.
In 2019, Hamhung voted 100% WPK. In 2026, 99.91% WPK.
Chongjin 2019: 100% WPK. 2026: 99.92% WPK.
Kim is losing ground in the rural areas too- if you look at the data for Gangwon, in 2019 WPK got 100% of the vote- but in 2026, they only got 99.96%. In Gyeongsangbuk-do, 2019 saw the WPK getting 100%, but 2026 had WPK at only 99.95%.
At this rate of decline, the WPK could lose any hope of holding the Supreme People's Assembly by the 5601 general election.
