Thanks, Jen W!!!

Here is some helpful information for you Texans about the upcoming presidential primary (provided by Jennifer W*********, a PHD student in our department):

If you plan to vote in the Texas primaries and are unsure of the process, I’d like to inform you about the “Texas Two-Step!” Texas is the only state in the nation that has a New Hampshire-style primary AND an Iowa-style caucus. You know Texas; always the “odd ball”... This is extremely important because delegates are determined by the results of both the primary and the caucus. Fortunately, the process is very easy. First, vote at your designated precinct on March 4 (assuming that you are a registered Texas voter). Second, return to your precinct at 7:15 P.M. on March 4 and sign in for your candidate of choice. As long as you vote in the primary, you can participate in the caucus. FYI, the time of the caucus is the same statewide, so this information applies to all precincts inTexas. Remind all of your friends and family who are Texas voters to do the same, and you can help ensure that your candidate gets the most delegates possible. In a year where primaries actually count (imagine that), delegates take on new levels of importance.
