Guadalupe County's unofficial Nov. 3 governor returns put Greg Abbott ahead of Gina Hinojosa, 38,597 votes to 31,478.
The county report gives residents a local count that points in the opposite direction from the posted Texas tally.
The Texas Secretary of State's posted statewide returns put Hinojosa ahead of Abbott, 5,230,789 votes to 4,524,527. The county favored Abbott while the posted statewide returns favored Hinojosa. These are the figures shown in the respective election reports, rather than a single combined count.
What the county report shows
Guadalupe County's report also lists 1,133 votes for Pat Dixon and 100 write-in votes in the governor contest. It reports 71,699 ballots cast across the election. That ballot figure covers the election as a whole; the candidate figures describe votes recorded in this contest. Abbott took 54.1% of the 71,308 governor votes listed in the county report.
The comparison is a reminder that the statewide leader need not lead in every county. Guadalupe residents looking for their county's vote should use the local report; the Secretary of State's results page supplies the statewide comparison.
