Cruz will hardly acknowledge the democrat in the general and will win in a breeze ...

It is a republican primary run off and Cruz looks to be cruising to victory. Dewhurst is an establishment rino and ran the most dishonest campaign I have ever seen. It really was detestable.

Not sure of the numbers without looking at the website. But remember Texas doesn’t register voters by party. The party affiliation is determined at the polling location when the voter chooses a ballot, republican or democratic. So they begin with the total number of register voters statewide then as the voters select a party or vote the % will change.

As far as knowing how many voted before the count is returned I’m not sure how they would come up with that as this is a county by county report not linked on a statewide computer. Not sure if what I’ve presented is accurate or even understandable.

In class 1, Bob Krueger was the last Democratic senator, after being appointed to replace Bentsen, who resigned to become Sec Treas. 1993

In class 2, Blakly and LBJ were the last Democratic senators from Texas. LBJ stepped down to take the Veep slot under Kennedy, and Blakly was appointed to finish his term. 1961.

I don't expect any Dem to have a chance this year.

Hah..great minds think alike. I wonder how many other people did the same thing? The car in front of me in line had a boatload of kids and a catholic school decal on the back. Made my heart sore!

That must be only Harris County results as there are 7,957 Precincts state wide.

Still VERY good news id Dewhurst looses his home county by that margin!
