60. I don't support either, and I think caucuses are horrible
The primary process in Texas is actually one thing we do correctly, but then we screw it up with an additional caucus. In this state we have 2 weeks of early voting with various polling locations throughout each county. On election day, the polls are open from 7 am to 7 pm for those who still like to vote the old fashioned way rather than early. There is more than enough opportunity for people of all situations to have a chance to cast their ballot, in secret as it should be available.


Just like the IA/NH stranglehold on the nomination process, the issues surrounding caucuses go beyond the candidates we happen to have this year.
