Runoff day is today for Council and HISD

The 2007 election season comes to an end in Houston (but not in Texas - see more in a minute) today as the City Council and HISD runoffs take place, with polling places open from 7 AM to 7 PM. To find your voting location, go to HarrisVotes.org, then click on Voting Information...Election Day Voting Info. You can search by precinct number or by address, and see a complete listing of where to cast your ballot. And you can see the candidates' statements about why you should vote for them before you go. Go do your civic duty, you'll likely be speaking for about 100 of your fellow citizens when you do. The fact that I can't even find a mention of today's election on chron.com might have a little something to do with that.

There's still one more election of interest this year, up in Fort Worth where TPA- and TexBlog PAC-endorsed candidate Dan Barrett will try to pick up another seat in the State House for the Democrats. Early voting starts Monday the 10th, and there are things you can do to help Barrett in this election. The conventional wisdom is that Barrett can't win this district, which I would characterize as purple rather than Republican. Only one way to find out about that, and we'll do so on the 18th. If you live in HD97, be sure to vote for Dan Barrett next week.
