For starters, I’m a terrible political prognosticator, so why I’m even exposing myself to ridicule, who knows, other than I apparently have masochistic newspaper-opinion tendencies. So, what do I think will be the outcome of the elections?The local elections, I really have no clue. I have hopes, but hopes aren’t always realized. The county races, all of the Democrat candidates will win by at least 20 percentage points. In some cases, more. The GOP still doesn’t have enough votes to capture any Hidalgo County office in my opinion.Where they need that influence the most, however, is in the judicial races.
