Voting centers are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 7 p.m. on Sunday. Early voting ends Dec. 5.
Several races are on the ballot -- including the City of Houston mayor.
A new poll shows that one mayoral candidate is in a better position than the other when it comes to the runoff.
The poll was conducted by the University of Houston, Houston Public Media and the Houston Chronicle.
The results are nearly identical to what was seen on Election Night with Sen. John Whitmire maintaining a 7-point lead over Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee in the race for Houston mayor.
"He's got about a 7-point lead, which is a significant number, especially when you've got a pretty fixed number of voters. Unless you can really expand the number of voters who go out to vote or really change the issues in terms of how you message it, it's really just a challenge to be able to overcome even a small 7-point lead like he's got," KHOU 11 political analyst Brandon Rottinghaus said.

She proved that the moon landing was fake because no flag was found on Mars. She is a maroon.

A bit of a surprise. I thought Shirley was a shoe-in. The Whitmires are a Houston dynasty family, like the Landrieus of New Orleans were.

Did Whitmer discover she’s hated in Michigan and bailed out to Texas?
(that’s a joke, son)

The biggest winner in this will be the commercial airlines she uses when the drug, oil, insurance, tobacco, food supply, Coca-Cola, and NASA jets are full of white politicians and there's no seat.
Commercial airlines suffer with her every trip.

Looks like a winner to me.
She's gonna have to dig up a lot of voter fraud to beat him.

Interesting though that in the last few months, the Mayor of Dallas switched from Democrat to Republican.

“Republicans need not even try. Democrat Socialist Machine politics.”
When I lived in the actual city of Minneapolis, it was the same thing.
The municipal primaries (before they converted to ranked choice voting) were a choice between a Democrat who made you sick 110% of the time vs one who only made you sick 90% of the time.

i do hope this means the dumbass is leaving congress-she is an embarrassment to this state. And the phrase is “a shoo-in”, which autocomplete apparently does not get-it has nothing to do with her “shoes”...

I hope if she loses the mayoral race she still goes away-she is at least as dumb as AOC and Maxine Waters...

She’s a real bee-itch to work for too, or so I’ve heard.
