Bexar County District Attorney: While incumbent Susan Reed held the early vote by less than one percent, challenger Nico LaHood holds a full three percentage points above Reed now with 51.50 percent to her 48.50. LaHood has around 9,000 votes more than Reed.

Bexar County Commissioner Precinct 4: Tommy Calvert led the early vote and will likely come out on top of Kirby Mayor Timothy Wilson. Calvert has 55.16 percent to Wilson's 44.84 percent; a difference of about 6,000 votes.

San Antonio City Council District 2: While Keith Toney, selected by City Council to hold the seat until this special election, held the early vote there will yet another election for a run-off. Alan Warrick now holds a 78 vote lead over Toney. The two candidates have 32.25 percent and 31.44 percent of the total vote over the three other candidates. Since no one was able to secure at least 50 percent plus one vote, the two will face off in a run-off on December 9th.
