Allegations of voter intimidation and suppression of black voters. Recount possible. Will keep you posted.

Somebody somewhere has keyed in the wrong results, I hope. Up until now, the results have been the same, only differing in time.

Now, they're differing in results counting the same precincts.

Sniffing for rats....

Sanchez is the conservative candidate, yes.

[PetroniDE]

Mayor's Race Votes % of Votes
Orlando Sanchez 120,986 50%
Lee Brown 122,154 50%
Precincts Reporting: 434 out of 730 / 60%

Still 296 precincts left, only down about 1150. Come on, Sanchez.

Got Link?

[RoseofTexas]

This does not LOOK GOOD..:(

[PetroniDE]

Those results are about 30-40 minutes old. Which group is feeding who?

[ru4liberty]

Hmmmmm.... certainly a discrepancy in the numbers on the official site and the numbers on Channel 2.

[JulieRNR21]

Looks very close to me....and I wonder does a close race in Houston trigger an automatic re-count?

[BUSHdude2000]

I was told last night when I was at the Sanchez campaign HQ, that a few years ago a Republican poll watcher followed the election judge to the tabulation center after the polls were closed. The election judge made several trips around 610 while the poll watcher stayed right behind him...when they counted the ballots, the election judge miraculously had 70 more ballots than he did when he left the polling place.

It takes a while to stuff a ballot box. Your hands probably cramp up after punching so many ballot cards.

[PetroniDE]

Football game is over. Texas lost by 2. News 13 should be on in a couple of minutes. Race continues to be close. Interesting in that no races have declared winners yet. We will keep you out-of-towners updated.

[RoseofTexas]

Simms boy lost that game...BUMMER :(

[PetroniDE]

Your site only had 260 precincts reporting. Just checked it a minute ago.

[asneditor]

That darn Simms brat just fouled up the whole game. Mc shoulda put in Applewhite after the first two interceptions

[Dan from Michigan]

I hope Coleman Young's ideological twin loses.

(Coleman wrecked Detroit)
