Republican poll of Tarrant County voters shows Sen. Rehmet with commanding lead over GOP challenger Wambsganss

The numbers from a GOP pollster reveal an environment in which Tarrant Republicans may be rattled on election day; they’ve already been battening down the hatches and County Judge O’Hare is portraying himself as a “bipartisan” problem solver

Now and again, Quorum Report has published the results of polls without revealing how we got the numbers and without publishing the polling memo. It’s not our usual MO and it frustrates professional pollsters. When to do it, it’s a judgement call, for sure.

We’re doing it again today but not without first offering a prime example of how it can help your understanding of the shape of a campaign.

AP: ICE agent shoots and wounds man in Austin

The news flash via the Associated Press:

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and wounded a man Sunday afternoon in Texas’ capital of Austin, local authorities said.

The unnamed man was in serious but stable condition at a hospital after being shot once in the torso on the city’s north side, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said at a news conference with the city’s mayor and other officials present. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, did not participate in the news conference and didn’t immediately respond to requests for details.

Austin police officers were not involved in the operation or the shooting, which occurred after a traffic stop, Davis told reporters.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, a Democrat, said he wants the city’s police department to be involved in the investigation so it can provide “clear, third-party eyes” in the process. Watson said he does not think it would be appropriate for ICE to conduct an investigation on its own.
