    Just pointing out that Texas IS one of those states where only people registered with the party can vote in the primaries…

      When you go to vote, they ask what ballot you want. You can vote in one or the other, but not both. But you don’t have to declare or register the party you’re with beforehand. You do have to register to vote a full month in advance if you’re not already registered. Source: I live in Texas and voted just last week.

      EDIT: For runoffs, you have to stick with the same party you voted for in that race.

      Really? Last I heard, Paxton was working on closing the primaries, but all of the reporting this week says open primaries.
