Going off memory out of laziness but I think Texas is doing a "two-step", with the second step being a convention at which additional delegates are awarded.

Texas doesn't have a primary today. 

Is it possible you voted in a straw poll Valmy?

Or perhaps he early voted?  I imagine some states allow that, even for primaries.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I hope not. How could he vote without the most important of all information for primary voters--who has momentum coming into his state?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

That's the ticket.  Didn't know early primary voting existed.

We're here for you man.  :hug:

Is it time for my physical already?

Anyway it looks like the old Caucus system was discontinued in 2015 so I guess the thing on the 19th is just the party county convention. Huh.
Interesting. I was one of the Obama caucus delegates to the state level in '08 for my area of Austin. Too bad about doing away with that tradition, it was fun.

Yeah we used to. But the Democrats dumped it so no longer.

But they are still meeting for some reason :hmm:

Yep. Early voting started today. Best to get it over with.

This election just keeps getting better and better, Jeb forgot to renew his domain and look where it leads to now!  :lmfao:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Good.  More Republicans should now feel safe to shit on George W. Bush, criticize the Iraq War, and say good things about Planned Parenthood. :)
