Early runoff votes trickle in
Monday, December 3, 2018 by Elizabeth Pagano
As everyone reading this probably knows, runoff elections are a much different animal than November elections. To wit: The totals so far for this year’s runoff are much different than last month’s election. Granted, there are only runoffs in AISD and City Council Districts 1, 3 and 8, but as of Saturday night, only 3,867 ballots had been cast, representing just 0.58 percent of registered voters. The more robust general election for Nov. 6 had garnered 114,352 votes over the same early-voting time period.
