EARLY VOTING TURNOUT IN RUNOFF SURPRISINGLY HIGH

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

A total of 1,482 votes were cast on Monday in the Democratic Party runoff, the first of five early voting days scheduled before the May 22 election day.

By comparison, 1,087 Democrats votes were cast on the first day of early voting in the first day of early voting on Tuesday, Feb. 20, the first day of the 11 days of that early voting period. But it is evident that even if the pace keeps up this way, it is doubtful that the totals over five days will come close to the total over 11 days back in March.

The runoffs includes Democratic candidates for governor between Sheriff Lupe Valdez and Andrew White.

Depending on where you live, you may be able to vote in the District 37 State Representative race between challenger Alex Dominguez, a county commissioner for Precinct 2, or the incumbent Rene Oliveria.

Again, depending on where you live, you may be able to vote in the Precinct 2, Place 2 race between challenger Javier Reyna,a a Captain in the Cameron County Sheriff's Dept., or the incumbent Jonathan Gracia.

Countywide, there's the runoff for 197th District Court between Carlos Masso, a Brownsville attorney and Brownsville Navigation District commissioner, and Brownsville attorney and former magistrate Adolfo Cordova. This is a heated race and includes Willacy County.

As usual, the top voting spot was the Central Public Library in Brownsville. There were 440 votes cast there today compared to 333 in February.

The dark shades in the graph above means that early voting will be limited to the days shaded blue.

In Browntown, a high voter turnout means there is an increase in tamales, coke and cash being handed out.

Hey, are those tamales any better than any that are being sold as "tamales" in Brownsville? I have not had a good tamale since my huelita used to make them. I don't know how some tamalares can claim they are selling tamales. They sell pollo o una tirita de carne envuelta en in libra de masa y todos le tienen que hechar chile a que no se los pueda comer uno. Does any one know for real where someone sells a good tamale. Hey, maybe we can have a Tamale Party at the new market square and have the millionaire Tony Martinez pay for them and invite Brownsville citizens to come to a tasting fiesta - similar to the one held with fajitas in McAllen. I guess we can't do the one with fajitas cause the fajitas were confiscated by the marshalls. Que triste!
