11:08pm Well, we seem stuck on 92% precincts reporting. Incumbent Lee Leffingwell has handily defeated his opponents taking 68% of the votes (Meeker 23%, Demling 9%). Randi Shade trounced incumbent Jennifer Kim 64% to 27%. Laura Morrison (39%) and Cid Galindo (29%) will face each other in a runoff (Robin Cravey won 20%). I’d imagine Cid (who I also like though I supported Laura) and his supporters will think hard about funding a runoff given the likely switch of Cravey votes to Laura. It’ll all be about GOTV. Steven and I are in for fundraising. Thank gosh the three AISD school bond propositions have passed too.
9:10pm 85% of precincts reporting: Randi with 64%; Lee with 68%
9:15pm Now with 46% of precincts reporting: Randi and Lee have held their percentages. Laura up to 38% with Cid at 29% (Robin
Cravey with 20%).
8:45pm Randi Shade & Lee Leffingwell have won (re)election to Austin City Council. No way for their opponents to overcome the early voting & 12 percent precinct reporting lead. Shade: 62%/Kim 27%. Leffingwell: 67%/Meeker 22%.
Probably a runoff for Laura Morrison (37%) and Cid Galindo (30%) in Place 4.
