The winning candidates will face no opposition on the county’s Republican Party ballot.
Strong early voter numbers hint at a big Election Day turnout, Democratic Party Chairman Lefty Cavazos said yesterday.
Voters cast 1,450 early ballots during the two-week period in this county that has 11,929 registered voters. That surpassed the number of voters who cast early ballots during the 2012 primary election, whose ballot included a presidential race.
