FLOYD COUNTY, TX—Today is Election Day across the country, and voters will go to the polls to choose their next president.
Former President Donald J. Trump is running as the Republican challenger, while Vice President Kamala Harris is the Democratic candidate.

Locally, the race for Floyd County Sheriff will be decided between incumbent and current Sheriff Paul Raisez and write-in challenger Ruben DeLeon.
