Early Voting Underway


by: John McClelland

Thu May 03, 2007 at 04:08 PM CDT


In case you've been living in your bat cave, we at BOR wanted you to be aware that the early voting period for municipal elections are underway. The early voting period runs through the weekend and will end on May 8. Election day itself is May 12.

Many of you will be voting on mayoral and city council races. School board races are also on the slate. Texas will also offer a constitutional amendment to allow tax credits to the elderly and disabled.

If you do not know where to vote, or need the hours of voting, check with your local county elections website. Here are the links to some of the larger counties:

Dallas County Elections
Harris County Elections
Travis County Elections

Burnt Orange Report will also be offering its endorsements in several races throughout the state. BOR's senior staff will be making the decision on who to endorse. That is still to come.

Sweet (0.00 / 0)
I filed my application for a ballot by mail 2 days ago! I'm wondering if it will be the only one for Gillespie County seeing as there are no local elections to speak of next week (woohoo, Tom Musselman cruises to re-election for a 2nd term on the Fredericksburg City Council).


Blah (0.00 / 0)
I'm not knocking Papa Musselman, but when people run unopposed it signals one of two things: that person is doing a super job... or general apathy in the democratic process. And I almost always expect the latter. And there are lots of towns across Texas who will not have any opposition in their mayoral and council races.

I still need to vote but have no idea who to vote for (0.00 / 0)
Pretty sure I'm gonna vote for the amendment, but as far as the AISD board race, have no idea.

City of San Antonio Elections are also underway.

One of my clients, young, progressive Justin Rodriguez, is looking for volunteers to help get out the vote.

You can find him at www.justinrodriguez.org.

Mayor Hardberger is cruising to an easy re-election...so the only thing driving votes is people like us knocking doors.

Bexar Turnout (0.00 / 0)
So that's what's driving turnout in Bexar County. It's really hopping compared to the rest of the state.

there are literally well over a billion dollars in various bond issues that have the usual suspects riled up on one side or another.
