After I inquired about discrepancies I was seeing, the El Paso elections office said a vendor mistakenly included mail-in data in the in-person list. Just under 15,000 people cast in-person ballots Wednesday, very high by El Paso standards but just under 2018 and 2020 numbers.

In his endorsements, President Trump excludes El Paso GOP nominee Adam Bauman in TX-16, who is challenging Democrat Veronica Escobar. Trump also snubs Bo French for Railroad Commission. Bauman has raised virtually no money and has done little outreach. French is ... well known.

El Paso high Friday is currently forecast to be 59. The last time our high was below 60 was on Jan. 28. It's the first time El Paso's ever gone from February 1 through the middle of October without a day that didn't hit 60.

Almost 700 people took advantage of a beautiful morning to celebrate El Paso and support local news at the 2nd annual @elpasomatters 9.15K and 1 mile fun walk-run.

A great day for the @elpasomatters 9.15K Run in Downtown El Paso.

The last day El Paso had a high temperature below 90 degrees was June 5, in the spring. The forecast calls for a high of 86 on Tuesday, Sept. 22, the first day of fall. That would mean every day this summer had a temperature above 90. The last time that happened was ... never.

Happy 915 Day to all who celebrate!

Today is El Paso's 100th straight day with a high temperature of 90 or more. That's only the second time that's happened. Prior to 2015, the longest such streak was 80 days. Since 2015, we've had 5 streaks of 82 or more days above 90.
