For some reason, AP reported this election result, but the rest of the national media has not mentioned this election result from yesterday to fill a state senator's empty seat.

This election was for our state senate.

SAN ANTONIO - Updated at 9:45 p.m.:

Republican Pete Flores upset Democrat Pete Gallego in a runoff, capturing a reliably blue state Senate seat vacated by a former lawmaker sentenced to 12 years in prison on federal fraud charges.

San Antonio Democratic Sen. Carlos Uresti resigned in June after being convicted of helping an oilfield service company he co-owned run a Ponzi scheme. His term expires in 2020, and the district stretches from Democrat-heavy San Antonio to the Big Bend.

Gallego, a former congressman and state representative, and Flores, an ex-game warden who lost to Uresti in 2016, advanced to the runoff after none of the eight candidates won a majority of the votes cast during July's opening round of balloting.

Flores victory extends the Republican majority in the Texas Senate to 21-10.
