Early voting Day Two

Before we get to the picture, some deep thoughts from our illustrious County Clerk.

"With only two candidates, one is bound to get a majority; unless we have an even 50-50 tie, and that's not very likely," said Harris County Clerk Beverly Kaufman.

Well, you have to admit, she did cover all the possibilities. At least, without bringing imaginary numbers into the equation.

More seriously:

She says she's not expecting heavy voter turnout.

"I would like to remind everyone that in a low-turnout election the value of your vote is greater."

But each ballot is still important.

"The person elected to this office represents the whole city. They play a role in making some important decisions about the conduct of city government."

I figure turnout will be at most two percent. District Council races get more votes than what we'll see. I can't begin to emphasize how much your vote in this election counts.

And with that:

You know what to do. Here's a more useful link to early voting times and locations (thanks, Stace). Go vote!
