having difficulty posting. THESE ARE PRIMARIES. If you vote Dem you get the dem ballot. If you vot republ, you get repub. Example- on TX repub ballot several major state officers are unopposed. This ballot does determine direction, judges, etc. For that it's important. There is alot of noise in TX fro mdems about turning it blue, and Soros is spending money here and we are getting californians here sadly, who are still liberal.
