Hill and his wife, Elizabeth, voted
shortly before 8:00 this morning at a
school just a few blocks from their home
in the Terrytown section of Austin.
It rained here last night and skies were
threatening this morning.
But this did not deter a small group of
Hill supporters who greeted the candidate
and his wife as they stepped from a car.
Hill's appearance also attracted several
television crews, and the candidate
told reporters he expects to win the
Democratic nomination without a runoff.
But I do believe from the poll we saw
two nights ago showing me at 46
percent against 40 percent,
and that was a statewide poll that we
ought to be able to go on over the top
today.
This precinct usually has a heavy voter
turnout, but the precinct judge
said the early morning balloting was
disappointing.
Only fifty six persons had voted before
the Hills cast their ballots.
The candidate planned to campaign in the
valley in San Antonio during the day
before returning to Austin to await the
results of what has been a very tough
election campaign.
Hill said he expected a trend by
9:00 tonight and a concession statement
by 11:00.
He didn't say who's we got the message?
Jack Brown? The Texas News asked.
