AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
These numbers are absolutely mind-blowing. Registered voters in Harris County, Texas are acting badly through the first two days of early voting. In case you haven’t heard, a total of 118,008 voters went to the polls to cast their vote in person in Harris County, Texas on yesterday, Tuesday, October 14, 2020. Of the 118,008 voters, who cast ballots, 114,996 cast their ballot in-person, and 3,012 of the votes were cast by absentee mail-in ballot. All total, through two days of early voting, 287,531 votes have been cast so far. What does this mean? Well, what it means is that Harris County voters recognize the importance of this Presidential Election and are turning out in droves to make their voices heard. Are Democrats or Republicans winning through the first two days? I’m not sure right now, which party is winning. However, what I can tell you, is that in my 30-years of studying the criminal justice system and local elections we’ve never seen anything like this before. People are coming out of the woodworks to do their thing. And the scary part about it is that, nobody knows for sure, how not having straight-ticket voting is going to impact the results. So, please encourage all of your family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to go all-the-way down their ballot casting a vote in every race. Why? Well, all of these votes really won’t mean much, if voters are simply voting in the race for president and walking out of the voting booth. All politics are local, so please vote down-ballot in every race.

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “Please do not forget to remind all of your family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to vote early from Tues., October 13, 2020, to Fri., October 30, 2020. And don't forget that you can still cast your vote on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, if you can't vote early."
All Houston Business Connections Newspaper© readers are Strongly Encouraged to Vote Our Slate on Tuesday, November 3, 2020
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
There won't be any straight-ticket voting in the state of Texas on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. So, the “2020 NON-PARTISAN ENDORSEMENTS” listed on this page for Harris County, Missouri City, Texas, and Pearland, Texas are being released for Houston Business Connections Newspaper© readers to strongly consider between now and Election Day. To this end, please note that these endorsements are intended to serve as a guide to assist our “OPEN-MINDED READERS” in their quest to make an informed voting decision on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. So, if you're one of those people who is planning to waltz into the voting booth on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, and cast your ballot for every candidate who has a "D" or "R" in front of their name, this page was not created with you in mind. But was rather, created for "OPEN-MINDED PEOPLE" who love America and would like to see the "BEST-QUALIFIED CANDIDATES" with "OPEN-MINDS" placed into positions of authority throughout our nation. Why? Well, in case you haven't noticed, this is a crucial moment in the history of our great nation -- we're at a crossroads in these United States of America. Our constitution is under attack, race-relations are at an all-time low; and the very fabric of our nation is being torn asunder. That being said, please understand that no candidate is perfect, and these endorsements were decided upon by Houston Business Connections Newspaper© after consulting with (15) fifteen local attorneys who practice law in Houston, Texas along with consideration of the opinions offered to us by a select group of local leaders and politically astute individuals whom we respect. So, as you view the slate below, please understand, that in some of the races, there are “DUAL ENDORSEMENTS”, which simply mean that, a definitive decision was not reached on that race. And in other races where you see “NO ENDORSEMENT” offered, we are encouraging our "OPEN-MINDED READERS" to “HOLD-THEIR VOTE”, or research the candidates for themselves and cast their ballot for the candidate that best represents their interests, ideas, beliefs, and, concerns. Lastly, do not forget to cast your vote for Jerlaynn Manor in the race for District Judge, 80th Civil District Court, in Harris County. In case you don't know, at the age of 7-years old Jeralynn decided that she wanted to be a judge when she grew up. Now, her road to 2020 has not been easy; but this rising Democratic star finds herself on step away from achieving her lifelong dream of becoming a judge.

Make no mistake about it, one of these men (President Donald J. Trump or Senator Joe Biden) will eventually be crowned the commander of the free world. So, you're on your own in the race for President of the United States. *** No endorsement in the race for President!!!
