The water bill had some late objections from the left, but it looks as if it will carry. At 8 p.m., the Associated Press called all statewide propositions as having passed.
Harris County propositions:
1.51% For, 49% Against. 50.97- 49.03 50.59 - 49.41 50.09 - 49.91
At 9 p.m., about 3000 votes separated ayes from nays. This proposition, for the detention holding facility, is hanging by a thread; at 9:30 p.m. it's about 2100 votes. At 10 p.m it's less than 400 votes.
At 11 p.m. and with all boxes in, the detention facility measure passes by 456 votes.

The Dome is in trouble. At 9 p.m., and with 36% of the vote counted, the 'Fors' are trailing by 10,000 votes. At 9:30 p.m the gap widens to about 13,300 votes.
At 9:37 p.m. the Houston Chronicle called the proposal defeated.
-- Houston Mayor (in ballot order, contested races only):
Eric Dick - 11%
Annise Parker (inc.) - 57%
Ben Hall - 28%
All others - less than 1% each
Not much mystery left here. There are 1,044 early votes from Fort Bend County that are unlikely to tip the mayor's race, but, unlike Harris, Hall (63%) leads Parker (33%).
At 8:45 p.m., Parker's campaign reports that Ben Hall has called the mayor to concede.
-- Houston City Council District A:
Amy Peck - 7%
Brenda Stardig -30% 29.7%
Rhonda Hale - 5%
Helena Brown (inc.) -38% 38.5%

A runoff between the incumbent and the previous incumbent looks likely.
-- District B:
Kathy Blueford Daniels -21% 22%
Kenneth Perkins -8% 9.5%
James Joseph -6% 7.5%
Jerry Davis (inc.)-65% 61%
-- District D:

-- District F:

Al Hoang (inc.) -48% 49% 48.68% 48.53% 48.40%
The incumbent is surprisingly trailing. This contest will be decided late in precinct returns from the far west. At 9:30 p.m. Nguyen clings to a 165-vote lead out of 5,600 cast. At 10 p.m., and with a 200-vote lead and 6124 district votes counted, Nguyen will hold on to defeat Hoang.
-- District G:
Brian Taef - 18%
Oliver Pennington (inc.) - 82%
-- District I:
Leticia Ablaza -20% 21% 22.39% 22.87%
Robert Gallegos -25% 25.34% 25.90% 25.01%
Graci Garces -30% 29% 26.88% 27.51%
Ben Mendez -24% 25.02% 24.83% 24.6%
Still anybody's ballgame. At 9:30 p.m. Gallegos leads Mendez by 29 votes for the right to face Garces in the runoff. At 10 p.m Gallegos still has a 21-vote margin over Mendez.
At 11 p.m., with 100% of precincts reporting, Gallegos holds on to that 20-vote lead and will run off with Garces next month.
-- Houston City Council At Large 1:
Stephen Costello (inc.) -63% 61%
Griff Griffin -37% 38%
-- At Large 2:
David Robinson -40% 39.89% 40.11% 40.55%
Moe Rivera - 14%
Andrew Burks (inc.) -41% 40.48% 39.24% 37.94%
Trebor Gordon - 6%
A horse race tonight, and in December. Challenger Robinson caught and has gradually pulled ahead of incumbent Burks, and will be the favorite to defeat him in December.
-- At Large 3:
Brad Batteau - 9%
Roland Chavez -11% 12.17%
Rogene Calvert -17.2% 17.26% 16.85% 16.59%
Michael Kubosh -29% 28.73% 28.55% 28.33%
Jenifer Rene Pool -16.9% 16.95% 16.85% 16.87%
Roy Morales -17.1% 17.27% 17.63% 17.66%
The evening's most interesting development will be who will face Kubosh in the runoff. At 8:30 p.m., exactly two votes separated Calvert and Morales. At 9 p.m. Morales pulls slightly ahead of Calvert and Pool, by 675 votes.
At 9:30 p.m., Morales now leads Pool by over 800 votes and Calvert by more than 1100. The two Republicans will face each other in December's second round.
-- At Large 4:
CO Bradford (inc.) - 83%
Issa Dadoush - 16%
-- At Large 5:
Jack Christie (inc.) - 56%
Carolyn Evans-Shabazz - 32%
James Horwitz - 12%
-- Houston City Controller:
Bill Frazer -47% 47.89% 48.28% 49.02% 48.86%
Ronald Green (inc.) -53% 52.11% 51.72% 50.98% 51.14%
The incumbent may yet hold off the Republican challenger, but late returns will tell the tale. At 9:00 p.m., Election Day results continue to narrow the gap for Frazer.
At 9:30 p.m., just 2200 votes out of 110,000 cast separate the two. But the real news is the 30,500 undervotes in this race. At 10 p.m. Green gets a little breathing room, leading now by 3000 votes.
At 10:20 p.m., when the votes from Fort Bend and Montgomery are added, Controller Green has a 5,062 vote lead. He has narrowly avoided being upset. 38,134 Harris County voters did not vote in this race.
More about these results -- and voter turnout, which came in at 259,000 votes across the county, and 174,000 in the mayor's race -- tomorrow morning.
