AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Democratic Rep. James Talarico declared early Wednesday morning that “every vote must be counted” in Texas’s Democratic Senate primary after confusion over voting hours in Dallas County delayed results.

Talarico, who was leading the race as of 1:26 a.m. with 53.2% of votes to primary opponent Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)’s 45.5%, with 79% of ballots counted, held off on claiming victory until there was an official call on the race.
