The accounts of law enforcement’s actions during one of the worst school shootings in history are among a trove of recorded investigative interviews and body camera footage obtained by ProPublica, The Texas Tribune and FRONTLINE. Together, the hundreds of hours of audio and video offer a startling finding: The children in Uvalde were prepared, dutifully following what they had learned during active shooter drills, even as their friends and teachers were bleeding to death. Many of the officers, who had trained at least once during their careers for such a situation, were not.
Uvalde county overwhelmingly re-elected the same sheriffs and politicians who did nothing while the kids died. They also voted Abbott. Any last shred of sympathy I had for that community evaporated after that. Why should I care about their kids and safety if they clearly don’t.
You’re kinda answering your own question.

It wasn’t ‘overwhelming’ if you look at the Commissioner elections. There was definitely a large proportion of the Ulvade population who did want change.
