The 2018 Midterms in Harris County is Shaping Up to be a Dogfight Says Aubrey R Taylor, Publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper

ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR

Many folks are wondering which party is going to win the battle for Harris County on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. While it’s a little too early to answer that question – a quick look at the early voting turnout numbers shows that both parties have some work to do in terms of "OVERALL" engagement and voter mobilization. However, the fact that Harris County Democrats are going to the polls to vote early in greater numbers through the first three days of early voting shows that Democrats must be taken seriously in this pivotal primary election cycle. 



HARRIS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY EARLY VOTING TURNOUT THROUGH THE FIRST THREE DAYS OF EARLY VOTING

On Tuesday, 3,833 Democrats voted early by personal appearance. On Wednesday, 3,143 Democrats voted early by personal appearance. On Thursday, 3,920 Democrats voted early by personal appearance.


A GLANCE AT THE HARRIS COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY EARLY VOTING TURNOUT THROUGH THE FIRST THREE DAYS OF EARLY VOTING

On Tuesday, 3,509 Republicans voted early by personal appearance. On Wednesday, 3,167 Democrats voted early by personal appearance. On Thursday, 4,105 Republican voted early by personal appearance.


COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING THE REPUBLICANS ARE STILL AHEAD IN THE OVERALL VOTER TURNOUT THROUGH THE FIRST THREE DAYS OF EARLY VOTING

When you combine the "MAIL-IN BALLOTS" and the in-person voting, the Republican Primary participation is still greater than the Democratic Primary early voting participation. Comparatively speaking, the total Republican Primary early voting participation for Harris County through the first three days is 22,339 votes. The total Democratic Primary participation through the first three days is 18,537 votes.
