Polls close at 7PM Central.

Yes, its way early at this point.

Cruz Control.

This will be (publicly) the least-analyzed race in TX history, since RATS and GOPe are hating this ‘will of the people’ thing and are STILL hoping it will just all go away.

And TEA doesn’t talk :)

[GeronL]

Cruz bump

[MEG33]

I hate the waiting.

It could end up being the most important vote in this country. As it will provide a road map to rid ourselves of
these entrenched Rino’s

Me too! Voted for Cruz this morning and then topped it off with breakfast at Chick Fil A!

Go Cruz! Let’s give the establishment a good kick in the proverbial teeth!

[MestaMachine]

I hope te wait is well worth it. If Cruz wins by a decent margin, republican laundry bills will necessarily skyrocket.

Darn I forgot that, does Chick-Fill-A have a breakfast menu?
If they do they will see me 3 times tomorrow.
Go Cruz...

The Texas SOS website is running behind your source it seems.

[mylife]

They sure are slow, but it’s a big ol state.

[deport]

This is primarily early votes that are being reported at this time. Today’s vote should favor Cruz if early voting trends are any indication.

[Hoodat]

Since us Georgia voters can't afford a thread of our own, I am going to bump this thread with some partial Georgia results:
