90 minutes after polls closed & still no results in #HouVote. People have no way to know if they're attending victory or consolation party.

We had faster election results in #houvote back in 1970's with those clunky old voting machines. We had results within minutes of closing.

Democracy skeptics, every vote DOES count. The candidates for Houston mayor are currently 100 votes apart with 96% returns. #houmayor

Interesting breakdown: Turner won the early vote, King won the absentee vote. King is also winning the actual Saturday election voting results by 54% to 45%. This tells me King is on track to win the election.
