request to send VBM ballots to every registered voter in the state for the upcoming runoff election for the US Senate nomination. Every voter in the state will be able to use it to vote in that runoff. However there are also some other runoffs in various other races around the state. We have 2 US Congressional districts and a Constable position in runoff here in Tarrant County. Those 2 Congressional races will need to be on the ballot in several counties.

Instead of sending VBM applications to every voter, he has rescheduled the runoff to Late July or Early August. His reason? Too much risk of virus being transmitted through the mail handling. I think it is much more risky to go to the polls and stand in line, in a room full of other people, touching screens, etc.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
