texas secretary of state

After months of uncertainty, the Texas party primaries will finally be held next Tuesday May 29th, which means the time is running down for early voting, which ends this Friday.  The Texas Secretary of State -- the state's top elections official -- is going around the state spreading the word about the primaries and clearing up some misconceptions.

The controversial Texas Voter Identification law, one of Gov. Rick Perry's top priorities during the 2011 Legislature, has been stalled by the U.S. Justice Department, and it may not go into effect in time for next year's elections.
