University of Houston Outpacing TSU in 2019 City of Houston Mayoral Election Early Voting Returns; Roll to the Polls Efforts Fell Flat on Sunday, October 27, 2019, in Black Community

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Candidates hoping to get a boost from local “Roll to the Polls” efforts by local Black pastors are waking up this morning with a stark reminder that the Black community is disengaged from this election cycle. Can you say sorely disappointed? Well, I can! What we are seeing go down right now is unbelievable. I mean, with five days left during the early voting period, the Black community appears to just not even care that there’s a black mayor at risk of being unseated by eleven hungry challengers. While polls continue to project Mayor Sylvester Turner as the clear front-runner, we continue to see lower and lower turnouts across the city of Houston in traditional Black voting strongholds. What am I talking about? I’m glad you asked. On Sunday, October 27, 2019, only 47 voters showed up to cast their ballot in person at the Hiram Clarke Multi-Service Center. On Sunday, October 27, 2019, only 174 voters showed up to cast their ballot in person at the Acres Homes Multi-Service Center. On Sunday, October 27, 2019, only 5, yes five, voters showed up to cast their ballot in person at the Hardy Street Senior Citizens Center. On Sunday, October 27, 2019, only 58 voters showed up to cast their ballot in person at the Kashmere Multi-Service Center. And on Sunday, October 27, 2019, only 114 voters showed up to cast their ballot in person at the Sunnyside Multi-Service Center -- which is typically the golden prize for Black candidates during most election cycles.

UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON VS. TSU

Candidates who were hoping to get a bump from students on the campuses of Texas Southern University and University of Houston may have to wait until Election Day. So far, through seven days of early voting, the turnout on these two university campuses has been lack-luster at best, as only, 322 votes have been cast on the campus of TSU, and 411 votes have been cast on University of Houston campus.

HOUSTON BUSINESS CONNECTIONS NEWSPAPER© IS A TRUSTED NON-PARTISAN BRANDING AND MOBILIZATION TOOL

In case you don’t remember, in a head-to-head “ENDORSEMENT SHOWDOWN” candidates endorsed by a “select group” of Houston Business Connections Newspaper© readers performed significantly better than those endorsed by the Houston Chronicle editorial board back in the Tuesday, November 8, 2016, Presidential Election as Democrats rolled to historic countywide victories over their Republicans counterparts in what, at the time, was the worst defeat ever for the Harris County Republican Party in its 71-year history.


HOUSTON BUSINESS CONNECTIONS NEWSPAPER© READERS SUPPORT CANDIDATES WHO VALUE THEIR VOTE

As a refresher, there were sixty-seven (67) races where a “select group” of Houston Business Connections Newspaper© readers went head-to-head against the Houston Chronicle editorial board. Fifty-one (51) of the sixty-seven (67) candidates endorsed by Houston Business Connections Newspaper© (in the head-to-head contest) back in the 2016 Presidential Election won their respective races on election night. By contrast, only thirty-eight (38) of the sixty-seven (67) candidates endorsed by the Houston Chronicle editorial board (in these key races) won their respective races back on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, in the Presidential Election as it relates specifically to Harris County, Texas.
