THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Due to space issues, we have had to list the actual tally of votes for both the Republican and Democratic Party primary elections in the unofficial count given by the Montgomery County Elections Commission in separate stories. Anyone wishing to read our original story that covers major wins and losses and their impact on the area can find it at https://www.woodlandsonline.com/npps/story.cfm?nppage=83518. What follows is a breakdown of the number of votes cast (in order) in absentee voting, early voting, Election Day voting, total votes counted, and percentages for the Republican Party ballot. Note that these numbers will not be counted as 'official' until certified by the Texas Elections Commission.
