Texas Secretary of State Election Returns

[AZRepublican]

Any pre-polling indicators how these proposals will fare?

[dynachrome]

Wish those ballot propositions were on the ballot here in Colorado

[toomanygrasshoppers]

Thanks for this thread. I'll be following it tonight.

[COEXERJ145]

Mods, could you please fix an error I made.

"There are also four state wide ballot propositions" could you change it to "There are also four state wide ballot propositions (recommendations) in the Republican Primary"

[greasepaint]

I'm soon off to vote, and stay for the
precinct convention.
Who should I vote for?

[Howlin]

I want DeLay to win to shut these fools up once and for all.

How's it going for him?

[JLS]

I read an article the other day that said Tx is a cross-over state. That is Dims with no serious race in a particular area can vote in the GOP primary to try to screw things up.

That means the spin on a Delay win is that the Dim voters are crossing over for him, hoping for a conviction prior to the general election.

There is also an interesting Dim v. Dim, hispanic v. hispanic primary. The Moveon types are trying to pick off more mainstream Dim, Gonzalis [sp?], I think.

[COEXERJ145]

I'll be back in a little while.

I need to do a few things before the returns come in.

[COEXERJ145]

Okay, polls are closed.

Now the fun begins.

[Candor7]

Ping and Thanks!

[humblegunner]

First time I've ever tired a Live Thread.

Delay might be tired too.

[Majie Purple]

Texas ping! Do you want me to stop pinging you to Texas stuff? If so just let me know...

[COEXERJ145]

Ping to you.

I vote about 2 PM and I was voter # 66 in my area. They had a new machine that tabulates paper marked tabs.

[texianyankee]

I voted this evening in College Station. It's been a long time since I ever voted in a primary - much less a republican primary.

Lots of single name contests, unfortunately. But I did vote for Perry among others. Also, voted for Tucker Anderson. Originally, I was gonna vote for Van Taylor, but switched.

If I coulda, I woulda voted for DeLay - but it was just way too far to drive to vote in his district.....

[texianyankee]

Oh yeah, I voted for all 4 props on the Republican ballot.

[NapkinUser]

All proposals passing easily.

[greasepaint]

only one person showed up at my precinct's convention

kinda sad
