The top local stories this afternoon from ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº News: For the second night in a row, protestors go together in Dallas to speak against the election of Donald Trump. About 300 people gathered last night at Dealey Plaza in Dallas.

Other stories this afternoon:

  • Straight-ticket ballots — where voters choose parties instead of individual candidates — accounted for almost 64 percent of total votes cast in the state’s 10 biggest counties this year, according to the Texas Tribune. 

  • In an election dominated by Republicans, there were only a few scattered bright spots for Democrats this week. One of them happened in Dallas County -- political rookie Victoria Neave upended a Republican incumbent, Kenneth Sheets, in Texas’ most expensive state House race. She sat down with ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôºâ€™s Rick Holter for this week’s Friday Conversation.
