KIII-TV published an interactive county-by-county map and explainer that includes precinct- and county-level returns for Jim Wells County in the March 3, 2026 Texas joint primary, and WFAA ran a parallel interactive map covering key statewide contests including U.S. Senate, governor and attorney general. The Jim Wells County cumulative results report, labeled "Cumulative Results Report MARCH 3 2026 JOINT PRIMARY" and "Unofficial Results," carries a run time and run date of 8:55 PM 03/03/2026 and is the source of the county-level figures below.

WFAA framed the statewide picture, noting "DALLAS — Results poured in Tuesday night in the various races across Texas as polls closed at 7 p.m. for the March primary," and adding context for the high-profile U.S. Senate matchup: "This primary was headlined by a number of hot primary races, perhaps none more so than the Republican primary for Senate. Sen. John Cornyn is looking to fend off Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt to stay onto the ballot in November and win another six-year term, but many experts are expecting this three-way race to go to a runoff." WFAA also flagged the Democratic Senate primary contest between Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico.

From the Jim Wells County "Unofficial Results" report, the State Representative, District No. 43, Democratic line lists Jeffrey T Jackson with Absentee 64, Early Voting 1,795, Election Day Voting 858, Total 2,717, each followed by "100.00%" in the table as printed, and the report shows "Undervotes: 35 1,025 460 1,520" and "Overvotes: 0 0 0 0" on the page identified as Page 5. The report also includes a Chief Justice, 15th Court of Appeals District, Democratic entry naming Jerry Zimmerer with "65 100.00% 1,794" followed by truncated data and an undervote line "Undervotes: 1 103 57 161" on a page fragment labeled Page 14.

Local judicial and county contests appear throughout the county PDF. Justice of the Peace, Precinct No. 3, Republican, shows Matthew J Schmidt with Absentee 1, Early Voting 147, Election Day 137, Total 285 and "Undervotes: 0 29 16 45." Justice of the Peace, Precinct No. 4, Republican, lists Mario Rodriguez with Absentee 0, Early Voting 48, Election Day 67, Total 115, followed in the snippet by an adjacent numeric fragment that reads "[...] 100.00% 794 100.00% 1,816 100.00% Undervotes: 6 366 259 631," a sequence that is truncated and not clearly mapped to a single contest in the excerpt provided. For statewide judicial contests on the Republican ballot, Justice, Supreme Court, Place 7, shows Kyle Hawkins with Absentee 13, Early Voting 1,003, Election Day 791, Total 1,807 and "Undervotes: 6 372 262 640," and Place 8 lists Brett Busby with Absentee 13, Early Voting 1,003, Election Day 798, Total 1,814, with the line cutting off at "Cast" in the supplied fragment.

Data visualization chart

The county report includes administrative lines that require clarification: the header prints "Registered Voters 6684 of 0 = 0.00%" and "Precincts Reporting 0 of 21 = 0.00%," which is inconsistent with the presence of detailed vote totals on multiple pages. The report excerpts preserve those exact strings and the run time 8:55 PM 03/03/2026 while labeling the pages "Unofficial Results." KIII’s interactive map and WFAA’s county-by-county feature both let readers click into individual counties for breakdowns, and Jim Wells County’s PDF provides vote-level detail by absentee, early and election-day voting methods, but the county figures in this article are drawn from the unofficial cumulative report and include truncated lines and numeric fragments that should be confirmed against the full county PDF and any subsequent certified totals. The maps and the county report together give Jim Wells County voters a first, machine-readable look at how local and statewide contests performed on March 3, with final certification pending from county elections officials.
