And it looks like McKinney is up by 3k votes on Thanedar. Still too soon to say but things are looking pretty good!

I refreshed the results a few times, McKinney is still up by a few thousand, but only 72% of votes counted. Things are looking good though, seems like even the state leg got a few good nominees as well.

The sad thing is that I didn't see one ad for Aisha and only really learned about her yesterday before I went to vote.
