Early Returns from Texas

Dr. Richard Murray has taught at the University of Houston since 1966 and is currently the Bob Lanier Professor of Political Policy in the Department of Political Science and Director of Surveying for the UH Center for Public Policy. His academic interests are in Houston and Texas politics.  Here are Lanier’s opinions from the early voting (click here for an explanation) in the Texas primary:

“After with two days of early voting completed, four clear trends have emerged, all of which point to big trouble for the Texas campaign of Senator Clinton.”

“First, voting is very heavy, especially in the Democratic primary.”

“Second, early voting is especially light in heavily Hispanic neighborhoods.”

“Third, African-American early voting is quite robust.”

” Fourth, and in my opinion most important, there is unprecedented Democratic primary voting in heavily Republican areas.”
