If she wins outright, that's great. And if she garners enough to force a run-off, then she will run in a head-to-head race with her name on the ballot with the "R" behind it. In such a runoff, she will win by a margin of 65-35.

No run-off for this race. The person with the most votes wins, even if it’s less than 50 percent.

If someone wants to write Shelly Sekula Gibbs in, it’s not that hard. The hardest part is to convince a person to remember to do so. The actual process is very simple. You get to the space for the CD-22 vote and move the choice to “write in”. After that you just work the letters one at a time. A list of the write-in candidates is placed inside each voting booth, so remembering the name is not a problem.

TX does not have runoffs for general elections. For special elections and primaries, yes, but not for general elections.
