Voter Turnout

1. What was the (unofficial) voter turnout (number and percentage) in Harris County for this election, and how does that compare to the primary election turnout you studied for your political participation assignment? What do you think explains the huge difference? (The precinct-by-precinct canvass report won’t be available yet, so don’t worry about that part) 2. What was the result of the Harris County Commissioner, Precinct 3, race? Do you think your virtual client pursued a strategy similar to the one you outlined for him? Did it work? Submit in Word. Cite your sources. (Note: A lot of the numbers you’re using will be preliminary numbers as mail-in ballots drift in and various election irregularities are settled. Don’t worry about that. Use what you can get and do the best you can.)
