I’ve spent the past week flogging the runoff race here in Houston, but there are runoffs going on in other Texas cities as well. One of the more hotly contested races is for the District 8 City Council seat in San Antonio. I haven’t been following this very closely, but my blogging colleagues B and B and Dig Deeper Texas have been (more here), and they clearly have a preference. (In the interest of equal time, I should note that The Walker Report has the opposite preference.) Those of you with a stake in that race should check them out.
Meanwhile, back here in Houston, Tiffany cast her vote yesterday at the Multi-service Center on Gray. She reports that Olivia was very interested in what she was doing, and demanded to be picked up so she could get a better view. Unfortunately for Olivia, Tiffany also had Audrey with her, which meant she couldn’t accomodate those demands. Just as well, since I know from personal experience in similar matters that had Olivia gotten her desired closer view, she’d have wanted to start pushing buttons as well. And given how delicate our voting machinery can be, who knows what chaos might have resulted from that. I’m pretty sure Hart Intercivic never tested an Olivia scenario.
Of course you know who Tiffany voted for, right?
Racy Mind did the same. Early voting ends Tuesday. Don’t miss out!
