Nonbinding GOP propositions pass easily
You won’t find these results in our coverage in the newspaper, in part because they don’t mean much to anyone except Republican voters.
Three nonbinding propositions appeared on Texas Republican primary ballots. These essentially are gauging the “temperature” of GOP voters with respect to these issues. And each one passed overwhelmingly.
Here’s those results, after all 7,959 precincts in the state reported:
Proposition 1: Should federal, state and local officials be required “to enforce U.S. immigration laws to secure our borders”?
Yes 1,267,411 - 96 percent
No 48,113 - 4 percent
Proposition 2: Should the state require voters to show valid photo ID before casting ballots?
Yes 1,237,776 - 94 percent
No 80,314 - 6 percent
Proposition 3: Should government agencies be prohibited from increasing their budgets beyond what is demanded by increases in inflation and population without voter approval?
Yes 1,175,461 - 92 percent
No 100,128 - 8 percent
