With the midterm elections closing in, San Antonio Current readers are clearly showing in interest in local and state politics.

Our most-read story of the week was a report that Gov. Greg Abbott is yanking $360 million out of the state's prison system to continue funding Operation Lone Star, the controversial border crackdown that's a centerpiece of his reelection bid.

Coming in a close second was our cover story on longtime political operative Trish DeBerry's campaign for Bexar County judge, which has surprised some observers with its wild trajectory.

Sports also played heavily into the mix, with readers stampeding to a story about the XFL's bovine name for its Alamo City team. They also checked out articles on Spur Josh Primo's surprise release from the team and the equally surprising reason behind his departure.
