Election Day is today

Today is the deciding day in the race for state representative in the district that covers Gonzales, Karnes, Caldwell, Bastrop and Lee Counties. There will be no runoff, no do-over, and hopefully no recount. This is it.

In a race that began in early November upon the resignation of State Representative Tim Kleinschmidt, the end is here. Tomorrow, either John Cyrier or Brent Golemon will be Gonzales’ new representative-elect in the 84th Texas Legislature.

Six polling locations will be open today for eager voters. Polls will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. at the following locations. Note that locations have been consolidated and you should know your voting precinct in order to find where to go.

•Pct. 1, 14, 15: Gonzales County Courthouse
