The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Should the State of Texas be in the gambling business? The Texas Lottery contributes very little to public education despite being sold to the public as a big funding mechanism for much. I believe that the social costs of the lottery far outweigh any benefits and that it should be recommended for closure by the Sunset process – but don't place a bet that it will be as too many profit from it.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.National media has picked up on the Texas Voter ID story I have been covering (listen to yesterday's show here) and frankly it is clear that the elections director should be removed for being so stupid as to not advise the use of a provisional ballot in the cases at the root of the controversy.A big story showing just how radical are today's Texas Democrats – they are anti-American revolutionaries, or at least their front groups often are.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

Reeve Hamilton (@ReeveHamilton on Twitter) with the Texas Tribune joins host Craig Price to talk about the 2014 Texas elections. When it comes to politics, Craig knows just enough to get himself into trouble, so instead of just relying on himself to figure out what's happening this mid-term election, he reached out to the host of Texas Tribune Tribcast to help set him straight. Reeve is a reporter for the Tribune and the two discuss the recent Texas Voter ID law controversy and if voter fraud is really a concern, will Texas ever "flip" to a blue state, why the Lt. Governorship is important here in Texas and why so many races are not even close. There's something for every voter, even if you don't live in the Lone Star State! You can hear Reeve host the Texas Tribune Tribcast which features a rotating cast of Tribune reporters, editors and special guests. The TribCast is an informal – and at times amusing – discussion of Texas politics and policy. on Soundcloud or on iTunes and read his articles at http://TexasTribune.org
