President-elect Donald Trump during Tuesday’s election flipped a Texas border county that has not been won by a Republican candidate since the late 19th century.

With 99 percent of Texas’ votes counted, a projection from The Associated Press shows that Starr County went in favor of Trump by more than 57 percent, ending a more than 120-year streak.
