I can't vote in Houston but I can tell you that Julian Ramirez is a good man and would get my vote for City Council #1 if had a say in the matter. He is a former prosecutor that is really tired of the BS going on around here and wants to make a difference. Yes, I am biased because I know him personally but that also gives me a lot of insight into his personality and I think most on this board would enjoy having him represent you.
I had the pleasure today of telling SJL to her face I wasn't voting for her and why. She looked like I slapped her. I'm sure she doesn't care, but it was satisfying.
Wife and I voted based on the Republican recommendations + Whitmire of course.
There were like 1-2 people in there besides us.

I'm jealous,but curious what you told her? She's a mouth-breathing, race baiting, staff-berating bucket of corruption that doesn't have enough intellectual gun powder to fill a fire cracker?Ryan the Temp said:

I was going to ignore her, but she engaged me. I started off by saying I had been her constituent for close to 20 years and she got very excited about that. I then said the mailpiece where she basically called John Whitmire a Trumper was where she lost me and I voted for Whitmire as a result. I closed by telling her she should be ashamed of herself. She couldn't get away from me fast enough.Booma94 said:I'm jealous,but curious what you told her?

There are myriad reasons I didn't vote for her, but that mailpiece was so far beyond the pale of trash campaigning that I felt it was a really good reason to use when I talked to her.
Lina bout to check back into rehab tonight if Whitmire wins.
I tried to vote today but I officially changed my address to Harris County only two weeks ago. I officially made my purchase 8th Nov and should've changed address/change voter county then but didn't know.
They didn't let me vote because of that. It is what it is - sorry guys!
(Also wasn't trying to illegally vote btw - I was registered in another county. I assumed the clerks would let me know when I showed up if I could or not and glad they did.)

Same. In and out in no time.
This thing will be over as soon as EV totals hit.
Can you please explain. I assume you mean the early voting tallies will be so lopsided that the triple crown can't possibly cheat enough to win.
Were you voting at West Gray? I met both her and John Whitmire there one election day many years ago (they weren't together, but Gerald Womack was with her).
Looking forward to the EV results around 7:15 or so. Should know the results of the mayor's race before we know the transfer at LSU won the Heisman.

Something like 75% probably voted early. Then we'll wait for the Fort Bend boxes to come in and see if they have any surprises.vbl said:

Rain storms should help stop any last minute voting too.

It's poetry in motion.

I'll say this now before the results come in, but seems like Politics 101 would be to endorse the likely winner, which has been predicted to be Whitmire.
EV totals hold almost every time. The chances of the result changing is almost non-existent with today's low turnout.vbl said:

Whitmire 65%
SJL 35%

Those are the EV numbers?
A beating doesn't come close to describing that. That's an absolute political destruction! I LOVE IT!
Edit to add, I have no skin in this one. I grew up in Houston(Sharpstown) then to South Texas for about a decade after A&M. Now in Spring.
But I had the district displeasure of going to HS with her daughter and being lectured as to why I should have to pay reparations.
Yes, probably just Early Voting numbers.
Interesting that even with apparently strong Republican turnout, Roy Morales is already down. That won't improve as election day totals come in.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I have no skin in this game as I left the area for rural Texas, but I'm here for the ****mire beating of **** Jackson Weeeeeeeeeeeeee
Briefly caught an interview of the crown weave on 13. She said she hoped the race didn't come down to money.
It comes down to your massive unfavorables you wretched beach.

I'm surprised this message didn't work in a local race where people care about trash pickup and policing:

Ballot printer about to go Brrrrr!
Seeing multiple outlets calling the race for Whitmire. GTFO, SJL.
Not looking good for Buzbee. Guess he'll have to go back to making countless millions in the PI world.
TA keeps timing out, so let's see if this actually posts. I told her that because I wanted to be a petty ***** like her. She doesn't care about her reputation, so I figured I would basically tell her that her campaign decisions cost her votes.

Mulberry has not read the room well.
I wonder why SJL isn't winning this one by a landslide...like all her other races?
I'm sure this has been discussed here before. I haven't read the entire thread. But damn, I used to live in her district and was always "shocked" with her margins of victory.

Whitmire declared winner.
His union leanings seem to be diluted heavily in Texas so he doesn't seem so bad.

He's not SJL. He was the only option at the end of the day.

Hey district is intentionally drawn heavily tilted to make it safely Democrat. She's always reelected in the general because no one ever challenges her in the primary. I honestly don't think Jesus Christ himself could win that district under a Republican ticket in Easter Sunday.
