The Vote

After a few weeks of digging and lots of hard work, Scott has compiled the data from the election and as we expected, citizens that live along the Morriss corridor had a huge impact on the election. The data showed that in previous elections, the Bridlewood area and West Flower Mound tended to have a higher percentage of voters represent their areas and those voters in the Morriss corridor seemed to have a lower percentage of registered voters turn out. This is probably because in the past few years Western FM and Bridlewood had specific issues that effected them

Up until this year our area really didn't have specific issues or causes that drew them to the polls. We changed that.

Here is some of the data.

Precinct 303, Central Morriss, SE (Tealwood Oaks area)
143 votes cast, a 53 vote increase over the 2008 election.
There are 4336 registered voters and 68 first time may election voters, 5 first time ever voters. Thank you all so much.

Precinct 304, Central Morriss, NE (north of forest vista, east side of Morriss)
364 votes cast, a 145 increase over the 2008 election.
There are 3919 registered voters and 118 first time May election voters. 6 first time ever voters. Thanks you all so much.

Precinct 320, Central Morriss, West (west side of Morriss to 2499)
442 votes cast, a 193 increase over the 2008 election. (highest vote count in town)
There are 4279 registered voters and 161 first time May election voters. 5 first time ever voters. Thank you all so much.

precinct 323, North Morriss, (east of Morriss, north of 1171)
90 votes cast, 5 votes less than in 2008.
There are 2531 registered voters and 25 first time May election voters. 2 first time ever voters. Thank you all so much, there is a lot of work to do in this area.

Precinct 307, North Morriss (west of Morriss and north of College, South of Dixon)
266 votes cast, a 34 increase over 2008 election.
There are 4336 Registered voters and 68 first time May election voters. 5 first time ever voters. Thank you all so much.

Precinct 314 North Morriss (north of Dixon , south of 407)
121 votes cast, 12 less than in 2008.
there are 2572 registered voters and 38 first time May election voters. No new voters. Thank you all so much, lots of work needed in this area.

Precinct 317 Gerault, (south of 3040)
266 votes cast, a 46 vote decrease from 2008
There are 3805 registered voters and 68 first time May election voters and 2 first time ever voters. Thank you all so much.

A few other stats, a 3 percent increase in votes cast over 2008. There are 41361 registered voters in FM. There was a 2 percent increase in first time may voters.

This all shows out power to help shape the future of our town. We need to start working on the other 38,000 registered voters for the next town election.

  1. Very interesting! Thanks for the info. You are correct, we need to get more of our fellow citizens involved in voting - Next year the Mayor and Places 2 & 4 will be up for re-election.
