Here is more info on Tuesday's primary: http://www.lantanalinks.com/news.htm#primary

Also, the Republican ballot includes three referendum questions:

Referendum 1: Federal, state and local officials should be required to enforce U.S. immigration laws in order to secure our borders.

Referendum 2: The Texas Legislature should make it a priority to protect the integrity of our election process by enacting legislation that requires voters to provide valid photo identification in order to cast a ballot in any and all elections conducted in the state of Texas.

Referendum 3: Every governmental body in Texas should be required to limit any annual increase in its budget and spending to the combined increase of population and inflation unless it first gets voter approval to exceed the allowed annual growth or in the case of an official state of emergency.

We early voted, I think its important to take part. Although on a seperate note the constant robotic calls from both democratic campaigns late into the night are taking a toll on our house. My mind is already made up, why would a call such as this influence my vote?

I'm glad they were. There seems to be a lot of chaos at Democratic locations. Or at least the ones shown on this evenings news.

I voted for Huck. :)

I got a lot of calls from Obama too... he must have a lot of time on his hands... and if you send him a message on his website, you'll get plenty of emails too. I think his wife emailed me too.

Now THAT'S common sense.

Then tell him about this site, or are you afraid he would knock you out of your #1 position.

This is an open primary state. You can vote in whichever primary you choose regardless of what party you're aligned with. It makes for a lot of fun. If the candidate in your party has got the nomination wrapped up you can go to the other party's primary location and vote for the candidate of theirs that you think will be the weakest or that you hate the least and you might as well do it because when the situation is to their advantage they are going to return the favor to your party.

That is true. But, if they do that, then they are not allowed to vote in any runoff elections for the party they actaully support.
