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).

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.

I hereby correct myself. According the the Texas Secretary of State, the runoff date is July 31, 2012. I'm going to ask my SREC committeeman and committeewoman about getting an absentee ballot and how to get it counted. Normally ballots mailed from within the county within one is registered are not counted unless the voter is 65 or over or disabled.
