Harris County 208th Criminal District Court Judge: incumbent Greg Glass and challengers Beverly Armstrong and Kim McTorry. Both sides of this argument are defensible, so it really is a question of whether SCOTx wants to step in now or just wait for the inevitable lawsuit later. That is slightly less than it was in 2018, the last year of straight ticket voting, when nearly 97% of the people who voted cast ballots in these races, plus the two countywide HCDE races; to put it another way, the undervote rate in these races was generally between 2.5 and 3 percent.

Republican judicial candidate Erin Lunceford filed a petition Wednesday seeking a new election in Harris County's 189th judicial district court race after losing by 2,743 votes out of more than 1 million ballots cast.
