Tomorrow is Election Day in the special election to determine the city council representative for Lubbock's District 4. So far, the Lubbock County Elections Office reports 1,880 voters have turned out in early voting. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Most survey results show the Texas Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico as extremely close. Houston Public Media’s Andrew Schneider reports that potentially creates an opening for a third-party candidate, Libertarian Ted Brown, to shape the outcome.
