I suspect the 886 votes were people that didn't plan on voting at all....but after they saw Creepy demanding they vote for Israel, they came out in force for Watson! Texans don't like being told what to do

I have no idea on why they broke it down by county, though, since that is totally irrelevant. Might as well break down by district, zip code, etc.

That’s what precincts are. And it’s easy to tell what precincts report, so it really is relevant. He won by less then 1k votes

Why is a precinct (or part of a precinct) in Hays County different than the precinct right across the county line in Travis County? I mean, a precinct right across in Travis might have gone even more for Watson. Precincts all over the city could have varied wildly one way or the other. There is nothing special about the county location of those votes. If you are going to list precinct results, might as well do them all.

Here is a more relevant map, in my opinion.

Purple is Watson, green is Israel, brown is tie.
