Late night early results

All results can be found here (PDF) or here, though it loads much more slowly. Just a quick recap of some highlights before I go to bed:

- Mayor White is at 86%, so the under will win. Still a pretty impressive total, and note that the undervote is quite small, less than 7%. In the At Large races, it's at least 18% in each. It's not the case that people are skipping this race.

- Biggest surprise is Sue Lovell at only 53% against Griff Griffin. I have no idea where that is coming from. Next biggest surprise is James Rodriguez running away with it in District I - he's over 58% at this writing. I expected that race to be close, but it sure wasn't. Third in the surprise line is At Large #5, where the runoff appears to be between Jolanda Jones and Joe Trevino, who sneaked up on a lot of people. I'm happy for Joe, and especially happy that Tom Nixon won't be on the ballot in December.

- What is close is the HISD bond referendum (50.49% in favor with 82% of precincts reporting) and Harris County bond propositions 1 (50.40% in favor), 2 (51.74% in favor), 3 (51.26% against - woo hoo!) and 5 (50.11% in favor), with 87% reporting. All state props are passing easily, as is the port bond.

- Finally, up in Fort Worth, Democrat Dan Barrett is leading the field in the HD97 special election, with the Craddick-backed candidate coming in fourth. BOR has the details.

Much more in the morning. Good night.
