Judge Maria T. Jackson Won Harris County, Texas over Judge Sharon Keller on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 in the Midterm Election


JUDGE MARIA T. JACKSON CAME UP SHORT STATEWIDE BUT HANDILY BEAT JUDGE SHARON KELLER IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS

Congratulations to Judge Maria T. Jackson for running a solid race against Judge Sharon Keller, and William Brian Strange, III in the race for Presiding Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals. While Judge Jackson came up short in her quest to become the first Democrat to win a statewide race in Texas since the 1994 Gubernatorial election, she did accomplish a few things I would like to point out. In case you don't know, she handily beat Judge Sharon Keller in every measurable category in Harris County, Texas. ABSENTEE BALLOTS: Maria T. Jackson received 49,374 for (52.41%); Sharon Keller received 43,919 for (46.62%); and William Brian Strange, III received 922 for (0.98%). EARLY VOTES: Maria T. Jackson received 417,429 for (55.45%); Sharon Keller received 324,527 for (43.11%); and William Brian Strange, III received 10,874 for (1.44%). ELECTION DAY VOTES: Maria T. Jackson received 195,041 for (56.82%); Sharon Keller received 140,199 for (40.84%); and William Brian Strange, III received 8,036 for (2.34%). OVERALL TOTAL FOR HARRIS COUNTY: Maria T. Jackson received a total of 661,844 votes for (55.60%) of the Harris County vote. Sharon Keller received a total of 508,645 votes for (42.73%) of the vote. And William Brian Strange, III received a total of 19,832 votes for (1.67%) of the vote.

CLOSING ANALYSIS ON JACKSON VERSUS KELLER

In my opinion, Maria T. Jackson could have beaten Sharon Keller in Harris County, Texas back on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 – even without the benefit of straight-ticket voting. How can I say this? Well, if you subtract Maria T. Jackson’s 514,758 straight ticket votes from her 661,844 overall vote total, you will see that 147,086 Harris County, voters cast their ballots specifically for Maria T. Jackson over Sharon Keller. Comparatively speaking, when you subtract Sharon Keller’s 410,060 straight-ticket votes away from her 508,645 overall vote total, you will see that only 98,585 Harris County voters went into the voting booth and cast their ballot for Sharon Keller. What does this mean? Well, at least as Harris County, Texas voters were concerned, Maria T. Jackson was the best candidate in this race, and would have won this matchup (in Harris County) by approximately 48,501 votes even if straight-ticket voting had not been allowed back on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the midterm election in my opinion.
