Despite aggressively partisan
campaigning by President Eisen-
and :
an hour before’ the polls close.
Bay-Tex voters faced a number
of decisions. Aside from a host
of candidates for county, state
arid, national offices,’ two’ major
issues are- on the ballot: a $15
million Harris County freeway
right-of-way bond issue, and nine
proposed amendments to the Texas
Constitution.
Election officials agreed that
damp weather would probably
keep some voters away from the
polls, but they deplored the lack
of interest by citing the fact that
little comment had been heard on
the election one way or another!
“Folks just don’t seem to care
any more whether they vote or
not." one election official
said.
Although many .of the Demo-
cratic candidates in the general
election have drawn either Re-
publican or Constitution Party op-
position, political observers bare
freely predicted a’sweeping Demo-
cratic victory across the state.' And
the “dopesters” have hawked this
prediction in every state to the
