    Texas election officials confirmed that voting machines used in 30% of its counties (including its biggest) are switching people’s votes, including the Senate race between Ted Cruz and Beto O’Rourke. The GOP-appointed officials say they have "no legal authority" to update them.

    I also found Powelson's "The Story of Land", , a nice historical overview of land tenure relationships. Not sure how easy it is to find anymore.

    If you're into the subject, start here with the Binswanger, Deininger, Feder review/history/analysis of land reform (link is a draft of Handbook chapter). Will tweet a few more links if I have the chance today
