Data Reveals 2024 Early Voting Turnout Numbers Favors Republicans; County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth is the Real Deal
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Heading into “ELECTION DAY,” my study shows Republicans holding significant advantages over Democrats in the statewide races. I believe Congressman Colin Allred is about to get handily defeated by Senator Ted Cruz by hundreds of thousands of votes.
No Democrat will win any statewide race in Texas in the presidential election on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, partly because of bad strategy, planning, mobilization efforts, a lack of respect for minority-owned media outlets, and several other reasons.
“IN OUR AREA.”
Democrats are likely to suffer significant defeats in Fort Bend County, Texas, if they don’t receive an avalanche of support on Election Day—which could happen, it likely will not happen to the magnitude needed.
Over 1.5 million registered voters still need to make their voices heard in Harris County, Texas. There are a total of 2.7 million registered voters in Harris County, Texas, and 1,232,960 registered voters cast their ballot early—either by voting in person at an “EARLY VOTING LOCATION” or by requesting an “ABSENTEE MAILL BALLOT,” filling it out, and returning it to the County Clerk’s Office.
While Republicans have put on a dominant showing, there’s room for Democrats to close the gap on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, which is election day.
The only question is whether Republicans have something left in the tank. For intents and purposes, no matter which party wins on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth should be commended for doing a stellar job considering the pressure she’s been under since taking over the running of our election from that failed experiment relating to the creation of an “ELECTION ADMINISTRATOR’S OFFICE” which Commissioner Rodney Ellis and his cohorts appear to have used to adversely undermine the integrity of our elections.
Make no mistake about it: When Commissioner Ellis became the County Commissioner for Precinct One, Dallas Jones, the owner of Elite Change, Inc., and Gerald Womack, the owner of Womack Development and Investment Realtors, ramped up their alleged “BALLOT HARVESTING OPERATIONS” and expanded them countywide.
Before 2016, Dallas Jones’s alleged ballot harvesting operations, led by Evelyn Dupree, primarily focused on the Third Ward in the Southwest Houston area. Gerald Womack’s operation, which was led by Gloria Blake Palmer, covered a broader area that encompassed the 18th Congressional District under the watchful eye and protection of the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who had gone home to glory after losing her battle with pancreatic cancer a few months ago.
Without Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s protection, Gerald Womack and Dallas Jones appear to have (as of Friday) played minimal roles in impacting the 2024 Presidential Election.
How can I make this claim?
“Mail-in ballots are down,” says Richard K. Hotze, the brother of GOP mega-donor Dr. Steven F. Hotze, who has been at the forefront of the battle to stop illegal voting in Harris County, Texas.
According to Richard K. Hotze, “In 2020, the total number of absentee mail ballots that were sent out equaled 250,434,” which is an accurate assessment.
Comparatively speaking, this year, Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth sent out only 79,455 absentee mail ballots leading up to Friday, the last day of Early Voting in Harris County, Texas.
As of Friday, November 1, 2024, approximately 22,392 absentee mail ballots were floating around and could still be filled out and returned by Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
“Looking like there are only 22,392 ballots left to harvest,” Richard K. Hotze jokingly stated via text.
What folks have to remember is that back in 2020, Chris Hollins was hand-picked by Commissioner Rodney Ellis to serve as the Harris County Clerk after Commissioner Rodney Ellis and other local leaders allegedly forced Diane Trautman from the Office because she would not send out hundreds of thousands of unsolicited absentee mail ballots.
After sending out 250,434 absentee mail ballots in 2020, an astonishing 170,410 were filled out and returned to Chris Hollins’ office.
This time around, after the Harris County Clerk mailed out 79,455 absentee mail ballots, only 57,063 were filled out and returned as of last Friday.
What does this mean?
When the “EARLY VOTING NUMBERS” are released on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Democrats running countywide will have, on average, 60,000 to 80,000 fewer absentee mail ballots than they had on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. This will put every down-ballot countywide race in play.
You also have to remember that in the 2020 Presidential Election, Democrats (not Republicans) dominated the “EARLY VOTING PERIOD,” which is not what the data indicates happened this time.
The numbers listed below will give you a clear picture of where voters were more enthusiastic during Harris County, Texas's “EARLY VOTING PERIOD,” which began on Monday, October 21, 2024, and ended on Friday, November 1, 2024.

“CLOSING THOUGHTS.”
Anything can happen on “ELECTION DAY” in Harris County, Texas. However, by my estimates and calculations, Democrats will have their work cut out for them. That said, 1.5 million people in the (still haven’t voted column) expect the lines to be long and stretch well into the night on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, in Harris County, Texas.
