Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth during a press conference telling voters what to expect at Election Day vote centers during the early voting period.Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth said Election Day operations were running smoothly, with more than 26,000 Harris County voters going to the polls to cast their votes earlier this morning.
“There are no flawless elections. But there are smooth elections. And we normally mitigate all of that in a very timely manner in the morning, so that's what that 2 percent reflects,” Hudspeth said. “All voters have been voting at every single last vote center that has had voters today, and we are moving along in the process accordingly.
Hudspeth also spoke on an issue encountered by state representative Jarvis Johnson , a candidate for Senate District 15, who arrived at Booker T. Washington High School to vote with his daughter, son and a campaign member. Johnson and his supporters said they could not find his race on the ballot.
