City council races are supposed to be nonpartisan, but the Collin County GOP inserted themselves this year and officially endorsed candidates in these races. It looks like all of their endorsed candidates for Plano City Council have lost. This is a very red county. I just checked the results again and 58 out of 59 vote centers have reported and the leads in the article above are still holding. Wow!
