There are about 700 polling places in Harris County, and as of 10 p.m. Tuesday, only 12 polling stations reported totals.

"Accuracy and efficiency is most important," Hudspeth said. "Harris County, we've had a successful, smooth election."

After the polls closed on Election Day, more than 316,000 votes had been cast. But 1.23 million people in Harris County voted during early voting.

However, most of the votes in this election have already been cast; in fact, 1.23 million people in Harris County voted during early voting.

Like every election, there were also concerns about problems at the polls, but Hudspeth was proud to say Election Day went smoothly and efficiently.
