President Donald Trump again carried the Lone Star State, Republican Sen. John Cornyn easily won reelection and Democrats, who believed this was finally their year to end decades of losses and even seize a majority in the state House, instead had virtually nothing to show for an election that was on the brink of surpassing 11 million voters by early Wednesday.

Former Vice President Biden held a slim 45,000 vote lead in the state early Tuesday evening, but even then the vote was tied percentage-wise at 50/50. With 53% tallied at about 9:15 p.m., Trump had taken a 2 point lead that within the next hour would double to 4%. At 11:30 p.m., 78% of the vote had been tallied showing Trump's lead had grown to 6 points, or by roughly 600,000 votes.

Just after midnight, NBC News called the Lone Star State for Trump, who held a lead of more than 600,000 votes.

In 2016, with 15,101,087 registered voters in the state of Texas there were 8,969,226 votes cast -- a turnout of 59.39%.
