it's actually in parent county, texas, not dallas county. but governor abbott saying that there are 83 cases and two deaths have been reported. the second death happened here and the concern is that it was at a senior citizen retirement community. it was a 77-year-old man who had no previous signs of travel or exposure so they believe it was potentially commuted. and that man died and the positive result came back after his death so officials are now working on the ground with folks at that retirement community to see just who in fact he had contact with. and it trying to trace all of his steps. in the meantime, bars, and restaurants remain close especially in a lot of the other metro areas across texas, dallas, houston, fort worth, san antonio, and austin. governor abbott says he is leaving the decisions to close those businesses up to local leaders and this as texas has also been rolling out additional drive-through testing. he was talking about... a little bit as well expecting to ramp up the number of testing and the patient's able to be

here's why -- i want to focus on two counties specifically. dallas county. second biggest county in the state. when the early vote came in, it was interesting. bernie sanders and joe biden were neck and neck. as the ex--- the election they vote came in, after the circle victory, things clanked. joe biden -- changed. joe biden jumping up more than ten points. this is suburbs. this is the type of area where democrats flipped seats back in 2018. this is a major population center. you saw similar result down in the houston area. harris county. biggest county in the state. major demographic shifts over the last campaign cycles. joe biden opening a 30,000-type vote here. trailing bernie sanders during times as the election they vote came in, joe biden started to gain with a serious lead really driving him, propelling him toward the texas victory. another thing not to sleep on here, look at these little count throughout the course of the state. this is not major vote, this is 27 votes here, 69 votes here. what this is is county after kane county after county, joe b
