Early Voting Begins For Texas Runoff Races
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Texas is in political overtime, and the stakes are high. Early voting started Monday across the state for runoff races from the May primary. Millions of dollars have been spent just on the U.S. Senate race to replace Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and Ted Cruz are in that fierce battle to gain the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat. Rep. Paul Sadler and retired teacher Grady Yarbrough are competing for the Democratic nomination.
Our Redeemer Lutheran Church is typically one of the busiest polling places in Dallas County, but voter turnout is expected to be light for this round of runoffs. Just a few dozen votes could make or break some races.
Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton is in Dallas on Monday to kick off his 'Super Monday Get Out the Vote.' Sharpton is speaking at a breakfast in west Dallas before making appearances at polling places in Dallas and Oak Cliff.
Early voting started at 7:00 a.m. Monday morning.
