"Plurality" voting seeks to elect the candidate who receives the most votes in a single round of voting. The mechanism for plurality voting is simple: all the eligible candidates are listed on the ballot, voters cast a single vote for their preferred candidate, and the candidate with the most votes wins. It is simple to implement and simple to understand for both organizers and voters. The BND elections are based on the "plurality" system.
"Majority" voting systems are designed to keep a candidate from winning an election if most of the electorate voted against that candidate. To this end, they require a candidate to receive a particular percentage of vote (50 percent plus 1) before they can successfully win the election. The Brownsville Independent School District, the City of Brownsville elections, and Texas Southmost College are "majority" elections. So was the election at the Cameron County Appraisal District.
If no candidate wins a majority of votes, the majority voting mechanism for choosing a winner is through a second vote, often called a run-off.

All you pendejos that live on his properties which is most of Paredes line and Coffee Port and voted for Hudson for appraisal district better think twice the guy making millions off your appraisals. Voting for him and Cowen is like letting the Rat guard the chee$e.
Yet all this is not final until ....
Minerva Pena for three years and a half abused the system and did not let BISD appoint the winner of the election.
She used fraud to obtain votes, then she used her lawyer, then she used her friends in the School Board, then she used ZOOM Covid 19 to continue in power until finally there was an election May 4, 2024.
There will be another election in November for the same place in BISD....
Pray for the new person in the school board to keep her strength as she is going to face another election in November.
Reelect Leal. Vote Leal this coming November.
What a stress to be working for BISD May, June, July, August, September, October and NOVEMBER is RE Election time for Leal.
Leal supporters keep up the good fight.
typical BISD, RATISMO PRVAILS IN THAT AGENCY, THE FBI MUST INVESTIGATE AND SEND EVERYBODY TO PRISON.
11:42 AM why would a developer want to raise appraisal values when they’re trying to get it for the cheapest value possible…. Another menso! You must be related to Zeke!
Finally you put out an article that is factual. Wonder why you decided to clear the air on “plurality” …..
