Most voted none of the above......

Nope, that would be Austin.

THE most socialist/liberal city in Texas, bar none.

How can you blame them?

Had I been a Houston voter I’d have voted for one promising more fiscal responsibility.

You only vote “none of the above” if you actually go to the polls and leave that office blank. Otherwise you exhibit apathy towards elections and the Democrats win because they claim “mandate” and the GOP sez “you won’t go anyhow”.

I voted for Locke although I didn’t like him. I know several of her agenda items I oppose that will probably get through. Didn’t hear Locke pushing for them (same sex benefits or green “solutions”).

I left the City Council races blank.

I voted for the City Controller.

Those “no votes” are tallied just as the candidate votes are tallied.

If you stayed home, you did not vote.
