Unofficial March 3 primary: low turnout, GOP dominates Coryell County

The Coryell County Tax Assessor–Collector’s office posted cumulative, unofficial results with the header "Cumulative Results Report OFFICIAL ELECTION" and Run Time Run Date 7:08 PM 03/03/2026 for the March 3 primary, but the pages carry the line "Precincts Reporting 0 of 16 = 0.00%" alongside "Registered Voters 1887 of 45912 = 4.11%". The posted pages in the provided excerpt display detailed Democratic-ticket absentee and early-vote totals while showing no precinct election-day returns.

On the Lieutenant Governor, Democratic-party page the posted totals list Vikki Goodwin with 851 total votes (47.25%), Marcos Isaias Velez with 525 (29.15%) and Courtney Head with 425 (23.60%). The page prints "Cast Votes: 95 100.00% 1,706 100.00% 0 0.00% 1,801 100.00%" and records "Undervotes: 3 83 0 86" and "Overvotes: 0 0 0 0".

The Commissioner of the General Land Office Democratic section shows Jose Loya with 808 total votes (45.73%) and Benjamin Flores with 959 (54.27%), with "Cast Votes: 95 100.00% 1,672 100.00% 0 0.00% 1,767 100.00%" and "Undervotes: 3 117 0 120".

The Commissioner of Agriculture Democratic page lists Clayton Tucker with a total of 1,669 votes and "Cast Votes: 87 100.00% 1,582 100.00% 0 0.00% 1,669 100.00%".

On Page 5 the State Senator, District No. 24 Democratic entry shows Joe Paz Herrera with 1,650 total votes and the cast-votes line "Cast Votes: 88 100.00% 1,562 100.00% 0 0.00% 1,650 100.00%"; that page also records "Undervotes: 10 227 0 237" and "Overvotes: 0 0 0 0".

The State Representative, District No. 59 Democratic fragment in the excerpt records Ethan Newcomer with 643 total votes (37.58%) and Andrew Turner with partial entries including "64 69.57%" and a disconnected fragment "60 3.45% 0 0.00% 64 3.49%". The cast-votes line for that race appears as "Cast Votes: 96 100.00% 1,738 100.00% 0 0.00% 1,834 100.00%" with "Undervotes: 2 51 0 53".

The posted pages include truncated entries and stray lines: an unlabeled fragment reads "1,576 100.00% 0 0.00% 1,666 100.00% Undervotes: 8 213 0 221 Overvotes: 0 0 0 0", and the Attorney General Democratic section appears in the excerpt but is truncated.

Secretary of State material attached to the files underscores timing: "Early voting for the March 3, 2026 Primary Election runs from Tuesday, February 17, 2026 – Friday, February 27, 2026". Historical turnout rows in the Secretary of State excerpt show Coryell County turnout ranging from 23.27% in 1998 to 56.51% in 2020, with specific lines such as "2020 | 41,450 | 23,425 | 56.51% | Early Vote 19,277 | EV % 46.51%" and "2022 | 42,839 | 16,368 | 38.21% | Early Vote 10,360 | EV % 24.18%".

Ballotpedia demographic and political-classification figures in the file list Coryell County population 75,388; median household income $52,893; college graduation rate 16.1%; Hispanic/Latino 18.3%; and the county political classification counts including "Solid Republican: 223 | 40.1%" and "Total voted Democratic: 22 | 58.5%".

The document excerpts are explicitly labeled "Unofficial Results" and the Run Time stamp appears on Pages 2, 3 and 5, but the provided pages show Democratic-party absentee and early totals only and no Republican-ticket totals. The headline claim that the GOP "dominates local totals" cannot be verified from the supplied excerpts because Republican pages or an all-party cumulative report were not included; the county pages themselves show the mismatch "Precincts Reporting 0 of 16 = 0.00%" while listing substantial early and absentee vote totals. Until the Coryell County Tax Assessor–Collector’s office posts a complete cumulative report with precinct returns and party-complete pages, the posted files are best read as early/absentee snapshots labeled "Unofficial Results" rather than final county-wide outcomes.
