As the crescendo of the election season approaches, Harris County voters are reminded that early voting for the highly anticipated Super Tuesday, happening on March 5, 2024, will conclude this Friday, March 1st. This pivotal day will determine the nominees for November's General Elections, shaping the future of federal, state, and local governance across Texas. Residents are called upon to participate actively, casting their votes between 7 am and 7 pm, and to make their voices heard in choosing their party's representatives.
In the forefront of judicial integrity, Statewide Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Michelle Slaughter stands firm against unwarranted political pressures. The esteemed League City former District Judge, and proud alumna of the University of Houston and its Law Center, emphasizes the constitutional mandate that local District Attorneys are to spearhead voter fraud investigations, not the Texas Attorney General's office. This adherence to the rule of law has placed her in the crosshairs of political rivals, yet she remains steadfast, advocating for judicial independence at a downtown Houston forum amidst challenging discourse.
Amidst political rivalries, Texas Supreme Court Justice John Devine faces allegations of misconduct, while Harris County DA Kim Ogg, a dynamic legal mind and University of Houston graduate, navigates the tumultuous waters of her Democratic Primary. Despite facing scrutiny over case management, Ogg's commitment to justice remains unwavering. Her personal connection to the victims of violent crimes fuels her relentless pursuit of equity and her staunch stance that Black Lives Matter is more than a statement—it is a principle she upholds with every case.
As Election Day draws near, Harris County opens 79 polling locations for early voting, leading up to the monumental Super Tuesday. This day not only holds significant weight for Texas but also plays a crucial role in the national landscape, with multiple Southern States casting their votes for Presidential Delegate primaries.
