I just early voted in the Texas primary this afternoon for Cruz. However, Remember there will be a runoff between Cruz and Dewhurst 31 July which is really the more important election (early voting only during 24-27 July). It’s clear from this poll that no candidate will get 50% on May 29, so the top two candidates will go to a run-off per texas law. We’ll see then in the second round whether Dewhurst or Cruz will pick up the 20%-25% of the Vote that will go to other candidates in the first round. Turnout will be very low in the middle of the summer for a run-off election so every vote in July will be important. Make sure to mark your calendar and plan vacation accordingly

Excuse me, but runoff elections in Texas are held 1 month after the original primary election not 2 months. According to my calendar, that should be on June 26. June 21-24 sound like reasonable dates for early voting. I sure hope you are not correct about July, because I won't be in the US during the last 2 weeks of July. July 27 is not a Sunday, and early voting always ends the Sunday prior to the election on Tuesday.
