In the lead-up to the election, we told you two things about the Texas polls: that they had missed the final result by three to five points in each of the last three statewide elections and that every October poll of the Senate race fit inside that miss, so nobody could tell you who was going to win.

Turns out, we were more right on that last part than we thought.

Half of it held up: polls missed, and no one had any real idea about how much Democrats would sweep the state.
