· Texas has a two step process that is open to all registered voters.
· When you cast your vote in the Texas primary, in essence it’s only 75% of a full vote.
· 126 of Texas’ 168 votes will be allocated to candidates based on the ballots cast.
· 15 minutes after the polls close (7:00 p.m.) those who voted must return to their precinct.
· This “precinct convention” is how Texas will decide how to divide the remaining 42 delegates.
· The rules were originally put in place to insure that the Democratic hierarchy would have more say.
Additionally, the two step process is for the Democratic Party ONLY.
