See here for some background. You can find your polling location here. As noted before, turnout is low, so your vote really counts. If you live in HISD VII, or Baytown Council District 3, get out there and make your voice heard. I’ll have the result tomorrow.
Minimal turnout at my voting location. The staff were back to writing voter information on sheets of paper, rather than being able to scan the photo ID like they did at the General Election. That’s a step backwards.
After reviewing the candidates again, Sung was still my choice. Luman just doesn’t seem as qualified, and given his history of opposing the move of lower socio-economic status children to his area, I suspect he would be motivated to not act in the best interests of all students.
