Texas 2 step Voting process

· 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.
If interested, here's an excellent article on just how the primary works in Texas for both political parties:

When I went by the library today I saw that the line was out the door at the courthouse for early voting.

I read "2 step" and thought of a dance and a song.

So am I understanding that the final decisions won't be made until June 7th?
