Why the Election Results Could Benefit Poker Rooms in Texas

The midterm elections in the US went great if you're a Democrat and awful if you're a Republican, especially in Texas , a longtime stronghold for the GOP. But even if you were disappointed with the outcome and you play poker in the Lone Star State, there is a silver lining. The new attorney general, Nathan Johnson (D), has at least one stance you'll probably agree with — he's pro-gambling and poker. Johnson, the underdog entering the Nov. 3 election, defeated Mayes Middleton (R) by 6.5 points to become the new Texas Attorney General.
