Election Results - May 29th, 2012 Primary Elections

Blogs and Columns
Posted by LewisvilleTexan on 2012/5/29 12:30:00 (1585 reads)

Open in new windowWe are updating election results as they come in for selected locally relevant contested races. Stay tuned.

Note: The results below will refresh on their own every few minutes for the rest of the day.

(Update: 9:27 p.m.: Having some difficulties getting data from Denton County. Suspect storms may be to blame. Also some problems with Secretary of State Data showing Michelle Bachmann with negative votes on election day)

(Update 10:27 p.m.: All Denton Co. Dem precincts have reported. Phyllis Wolper wins the chair race. Little over 1/2 Republican precincts in. Looks like William Travis will beat Sheriff Benny Parkey without a runoff, but we'll continue to watch that number. Amber Fulton picked up more votes in election day voting, but not enough. Same for Barry Minoff, whose election day results are better than early. State numbers continue to come in, but percentages there are barely budging.)

Update 10:43 p.m.: All Denton County totals are final unofficial, with all precincts reporting.

William B. Travis has won the Sheriff's race.
Michelle French has won the Tax Assessor race.
Jerry Raburn was re-elected as Constable, Precinct 3.
Tim Burch wins Constable Precinct 4.
Sherry Shipman wins District Judge, 16th District.
Pat Fallon wins State Rep 106.
Myra Crownover wins State Rep 64 and will face Mary Brown in the General election in November.
Ron Simmons wins the District 65 race for the Republicans and will face Gary Brown in the General.

State results are coming in, but percentages are barely budging. We're going to slow down our updates, but will check back every 20 minutes or so for the next hour or so, then update with final in the morning.

Update 5/30/2012 - 6:15 a.m.: Most precincts statewide are reporting - 8745 of 8779 in the Republican primary. Numbers didn't change much. There will be runoffs for both parties in several races. We'll update again tonight.

I'm guessing that NOW Pat Fallon will move to Denton County?

 Git' your line-drawing sticks out...
The biggest shocker here is definitely Travis winning a majority and thus avoiding a runoff. If there was any doubt that having a "famous name" increases your vote tally, that's gone now. Travis ran his entire campaign on two things: his "forefather" and inflated crime numbers (and no solutions to fix those numbers, by the way). If you had told me yesterday that a guy who hadn't worked in law enforcement since he left it under dubious circumstances in 1997 would defeat a relatively popular incumbent in a three way race just by saying he'd "draw a line in the sand" like his quintuple-great uncle did, I'd have laughed. Boy was I wrong.

Points well taken Brandon. A quick look at the precincts show that Travis won by carrying South county by large margins. Maybe if Sheriff Parkey had ventured South of Lake Lewisville for anything other than Republican Executive committee meetings each month, he would have had more support.

I am just curious on how Raburn was reelected. I saw those Minoff signs everywhere and thought for sure Lewisville was done with Avie and Jerry!
