Currently, Texas electoral law provides for a Direct Primary Election with a set of party conventions shortly following it. A recently proposed change in Texas electoral law would eliminate the Precinct Convention for state political parties. What impact would this have on the election process in Texas? Is this change warranted? Why or why not?
