Forgive us for using a hack phrase, but we have a runoff election on Saturday December 9th, with Sheila Jackson-Lee and John Whitmire squaring off in the mayor’s race and a handful of council districts and at large seats at stake.

Meanwhile, this election had some of the lowest turnout in years. How do we keep people from feeling cynical about politics and get them to the polls? Is there such a thing as election fatigue?

In Austin, the legislature is back at work to try and push through school vouchers.

Make a plan now to vote.
