The Texas House passed HB 2017 on 13 April 2007. Both HB 993 and HB 996 would move the Texas Presidential and General Primary from the first Tuesday March (4 March 2008) to the first Tuesday in February (5 February 2008). The bill passed the Senate State Affairs committee 6-3 on 8 May 2007. These bills died when the Texas Legislature adjourned in May 2007. TEXAS DELEGATE SELECTIION PLAN FOR THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION ISSUED BY THE TEXAS DEMOCRATIC PARTY AUGUST 2007 The Texas Democratic Party excluded Congressman Dennis Kucinich from the primary ballot because he refused to sign an oath saying he would fully support the eventual Democratic nominee for president. Certified returns from vote from an official source. Here is how we compute the DISTRICT delegate count (based on certified returns for the 4 March 2008 primary from an official source): A candidate must receive 15% or more of the total popular vote to qualify for delegates. Discard votes cast for those candidates who do not qualify. Allocate Senatorial District delegates from the qualified vote in each district. In each jurisdiction (CD and statewide): Total qualified vote = total votes cast for the qualifying candidates in the jurisdiction. Allocation = (delegates for the jurisdiction) × (candidate's popular vote) ÷ (total qualified vote). Assign each candidate the WHOLE NUMBER of delegates. If delegates remain, allocate each of the remaining delegates to those candidates with the LARGEST REMAINDERS. Tuesday 4 March 2008 Primary
