On Tuesday's show: While today is Election Day in Greater Houston and across the state, it's also the last day of the third special session of the Texas Legislature. We discuss what was accomplished -- and mostly what wasn't.

38 percent of rural voters support vouchers for low-income parents, compared to 52 percent of city voters, according to the survey.
