LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- 500,000 votes have already been cast in Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)'s home state of Texas, and one million will be cast by Friday, giving Cruz a decisive edge over Donald Trump, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick told Breitbart News Tuesday night.
Patrick told Breitbart News that early voting favors Cruz, because Trump has not had as much time campaigning in Texas.
"This race is getting down to two people. Rubio doesn't have a pathway to victory," Patrick added, noting that one million early votes would represents 60 percent of the total in Texas.

Candidates must win at least 20 per cent of the votes in Texas to be awarded any delegates, Patrick explained, suggesting that Trump and Cruz would likely be the only candidates receiving delegates in Texas on March 1, "Super Tuesday," next week. He told reporters that if Rubio does break 20 per cent, he would still only win a couple of delegates.
Patrick emphasized that Texas alone has more delegates than Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada put together, allowing Cruz to make up a significant portion of the current gap with Trump...

We’ll see. Cruz has been predicting victory ever since Iowa only to be soundly defeated in every subsequent state.
“Patrick told Breitbart News that early voting favors Cruz, because Trump has not had as much time campaigning in Texas.”
Trump has been to Louisiana once, and most of the people I know here (actually all the people I know here) are voting for Trump. Can’t wait.
That’s a lot of votes. I hope the Republican excitement continues to the general.
My friends in Sugarland TX tell a different story - even though they run political campaigns for down ticket candidates. At least in the Houston area, Cruz is no sure thing.
Ted Cruz will be even more dominant in the Senate.
Im for trump, but Cruz will wipe out Rubio.
And many of those 600,000 were cast for Trump. Ted is done. Stop and think GGG. You’ve been reduced to cheerleading nebulous voting information, for the sitting US Senator in his home state of Texas, while crossing your fingers that he somehow beats a NY billionaire in a state primary for a nomination that he has no chance of winning. Hors de combat as they say.
Trump’s a two faced phony. Not selling me that defective bill of goods. And here is precisely one issue on which he cannot be trusted.
Lubricate your snakes!
I’ve noticed this in Texas. I don’t think most candidates realize how the Texas primary really work.
This should help Cruz.
The ballot is also favoring Cruz over trump. On the ballot he does not even appear to be a presidential candidate. It looks like he is running for a separate office.
How many cast by illegals, or are illegal multiple votes?
Yes. Indeed. It all fits the pattern.
