OUSTON - Sylvester Turner won the Houston mayoral runoff election Saturday evening.
The polls closed at 7 p.m. Saturday after a day of bad weather worried candidates about voter turnout.
ELECTION RESULTS:http://www.khou.com/elections
Volunteers for both candidates tailored their phone bank messages on election eve, urging voters to cast their ballots in the morning rather than waiting until the afternoon.
Although conventional political wisdom says rainy weather generally works against Democrats, this campaign has been anything but conventional.

So Anus Porker is out?
Yuck, I even hate typing anything about those Houston degenerates.
other articles say Democrat Turner will continue ongoing Democrat policies in Houston: second verse, same as the first.
No change at all in Houston. From a moonbat lesbian Communist to a moonbat racist Communist.
He fell in love with sodomite money and votes.
Houston Mayor
100% of precincts reporting
Turner (D)
108,389 (51%)
King (R)
104,307 (49%)
I know, it's a lost cause. That's one of the cool things about FR, you know what stinks everywhere. My neck of the woods bites, too,
Bill King ran a good campaign, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the stupidity of Houston voters.
Heartbreakingly close. Ugh. IIIRC the 2001 race was similarly close with Orlando Sanchez as the GOP candidate. Ugh, again.
“So Anus Porker is out?”
Term-limited, she’s in her 3rd 2-yr term.
Houston voters just changed the rules to (2) 4-yr terms, but that did not apply to the current mayor.
I have not been in Houston for years, but I have heard that the once economically vibrant Houston under Democrats is crumbling very much like Detroit.
It’s too bad a Metro Area doesn’t have a say on the Mayor of the central core. You’d have a lot fewer Democrats. 2.4 million people just in Houston City, and 6.5 million in their Metro, but 100k loons get to decide on a loser moonbat Mayor ?
Nashville wouldn’t have elected a Hillary clone fat **** Communist, anti-Christian bigot Mayor with the whole area voting.
Chicago, on the other hand... probably no difference (at least until they get rid of that non-partisan bullcrap).
I thought with the outbreaks of Domestic Terrorism, and Obama’s endorsement of Turner, that King would win this race. It was close, and would have been different if the election were held a week from today.
With all precincts in, @SylvesterTurner leads @BillKingForHou 50.95% to 49.04% in the Houston mayoral runoff. #houmayor
Impressive that a Democratic city like Houston came so close to electing a Republican mayor.
Did the Repub run as a Centrist?
I am Henry 8th I am.....................
Presuming King didn’t win. I don’t trust Democrats with counting votes. They lie and they cheat.
I just read that Turner thanked the Houston portion of Fort Bend County for putting him over the top.
Foregone conclusion; I never bothered to check the returns tonight.
