Where? You dont know where or how to look? On his website. USE YOUR BRAIN!
Texas has open primaries.
I voted in the Tx primary, but not in Houston. Repub and Dem primaries are held the same day. All districts should be open to both. When you enter the polling place, you declare the party you are voting for, then you are given a ballot for that party.
Democrat primaries should be open to all.
Your right that’s the way its done, I was an election judge once. One time we had a totally out of his mind drunk show up to vote most likely a dem. I detained him in the school lobby The school called the police who were there in no time. They escorted him all the way through the voting process and then off school grounds. They should have arrested his ass.

Sorry, but you are wrong; there is no party “registration” in Texas.
You can vote in any primary you want.
Which is now MOST voting precincts are handled. You don’t even have to go to YOUR polling site during the primary early-voting...you can walk into any polling location in your county and vote.
Another Battle of Athens please?
In Texas,Polling places are determined by Precinct. The Precinct chairs, Republican, and Democrat, each staff their polling places in the Primaries.
Basically, when you enter your Precinct’s Polling Place, there is a table for the Democrat Primary ballots, and a separate table with the Republican Primary ballots.
You show your voter registration card, and a picture ID to the person at the table in the Primary in which you wish to cast a ballot.
After they put your info in the computer verifying your registration, you pick a paper ballot from a stack, or if you vote electronically, are directed to a voting machine.
In some cases, nobody from a particular party is found to work in that Precinct’s Primary, or nobody shows up to work at a Party’s Precinct Polling Place.
This has happened with both parties this Primary. The person wishing to vote in an unstaffed primary precinct should be directed to a nearby precinct which should have ballots for the unstaffed one.
When one votes, Dem, or Rep, the party is recorded in the computer. In case of a run off, only those who voted in that party’s primary or voted in neither primary are allowed to vote in the run off election.
Why have two different ballots if it is an open system?
In PA we have a closed system, and only a pre-registered demonRAT can vote for on the demonRAT ballot and the same for pubbies.
Independents get to carry signs and suck their collective thumbs.
I am always registered, either as a pubbie or a demonRAT so that I can try to effect which candidates run in the general election.
I always switch back to pubbie for the general so that I can be a pubbie poll watcher {a lotta good that did in 2020 in PA}. We got to watch the bastards cheat, and the courts gave us the finger. GRRR.
Flogging needs to the legal punishment for being convicted of this election fraud behavior, not only for the person who did it but their supervisor and others with the knowledge and authority to stop it but didn’t.
A few public examples and this kind of election fraud will rapidly decrease.
I don't believe we do. One can only vote for Democrat or Republican candidates.
From looking at the vote totals, nearly 2 Pubbies voted for every Democrat. Bad omen for Irish Bob.
Time to get the political parties out of the polling places.
Let the military - armed enlistedmen - take over the process of voting and vote counting.
The states will still have the power of writing their election laws, but the military will enforce them at the polls.
Yes, Texas does have open primaries. That doesn’t mean you get to vote in BOTH primaries, it means you pick whichever one you want and many Democrats picked the Republican primary to vote in (to help Yeb! Yunior in his A.G. bid, if nothing else).
Therefore “vote totals” mean squat, since those voting on the Republican side included lots of Democrats who will go right back to voting Rat in November. That will be proven when Abbott does not beat Beto by anything remotely close to a 2-1 margin. Barring massive vote fraud Abbott will win, but by about 5-10%, not 30%.
This is obviously a misunderstanding. What the elderly gentleman was trying to get across is that this is a primary election for the Dem party in which only a registered Democrat was allowed to participate.
Not quite accurate. When you go to vote in a Texas primary, the election judge asks if you want a D or a R ballot. All are allowed to vote (supposedly) and you can vote in whichever party’s primary you choose. Recall Rush’s “Operation Chaos” in which he encouraged Texans, and other states residents that were allowed to cross over vote in primaries, to vote for Bernie in order to keep Hillary from winning in the primary.
If judges in Houston refused the Republicans to vote, I’m pretty sure Paxson will be all over this. If Geo. P wins, I’m not so sure !
In North Texas there were multiple reports of lines of 30+ requesting R ballots and about 5 in line for the D ballots.
Texas doesn't have party registration. There is no such thing as a "registered Democrat". Counties run primary elections, not the parties. Election sites should be able to accommodate a voter seeking to participate in either primary. There might be an innocent explanation as to what is going on here, but I don't see it.
Don't Democrats and Republicans queue up in the same line? In my neck of the woods, you declare which primary you'd like to participate in when you get to the election officials.
The solution is simple
Shoot the dis allower dead on the spot and get on with the election
