Proposition 11, which limits the government’s power to eminent domain, was hugely popular and passed by an 80-20 margin. “The amendment bans governments in Texas from seizing private property and giving it to a private developer to boost the tax base,” reports KXAN News.

Over 43,500 residents voted in Travis County.
