Super Tuesday for some

By Shawn Matlock

So I ran across this story from San Antonio about voters in Texas. And Super Tuesday. It appears the Bexar County Elections Department was inundated today with more than 1,000 phone calls from people wanting to know where to vote today, Super Tuesday. For those that don't know, and I'm not sure how you couldn't, today is the day in which 24 states are holding primaries or caucuses. Hence the name, Super Tuesday. Texas is not one of them. Texas holds its primary on March 4. Early voting begins February 19. Somehow, these people learned just enough to know there was an election today, but 1.) did not learn enough about the election to know it wasn't in Texas, and 2.) waited until the last moment to consider doing anything about it.
