Next week, from Monday, May 18 through Friday, May 22, and then again the following Tuesday, May 26, a small minority of Texans will make important decisions for you without even asking.
I’m talking about the runoff elections for those primary races that weren’t clearly decided on primary day back in March. We Banderans may be more aware of this round of voting since the election for County Judge is on the ballot, along with four state races and one federal race.
Perhaps due to the strong local interest in the faceoff for County Judge between Susan Junker and Dennis Fitzgerald, Bandera had a higher primary turnout (32.4%) than the state overall (24%), but it still means that only one out of three registered voters bothered to show up and register an opinion.
