The state offered election information in nine languages this year. For voters, that meant new resources -- and some continued frustrations. From @Electionland partner @Detour_Detroit buff.ly/35hiogB

The Texas results are, so far, largely undisputed by either party. Both sides agree that some Texas voters were disenfranchised, though they disagree over why. buff.ly/3eLyK4v From @Electionland partner @TexasTribune
