5. 10 incumbent judges lose in Harris County Democratic primary, 1 headed to runoff
With the polls long closed, the unofficial results show ten incumbent judges in Harris County lost in Tuesday’s Democratic primary election and one is headed to a runoff.
Among the losing candidates: four criminal district court judges, two county criminal court judges and two family court judges.
“By and large, most Harris County Democratic primary voters have no idea who any of these people are,” said Mark Jones, a professor of political science at Rice University, who believes several factors played a role.
“Thus when they get to those races, they tend to vote somewhat randomly or women tend to vote for women, men tend to vote for men, Latinos tend to vote for Latinos because that’s the only information they have,” said Jones.
