No Record of Rick Perry Voting in Texas Republican Primary
Source: Political Wire
Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) may have stumped for Ted Cruz for president, but theres no record he voted in this years Republican primary in Texas, the Texas Tribune reports.
Perrys failure to vote in this years Texas primary could lead to more speculation that he is interested in running as an independent candidate for president.
There are two key requirements in Texas for someone to run as an independent candidate for president. First, a candidate would have had to abstain from voting in one of the states primaries because doing so would declare themselves as either a Democrat or Republican. Second, a candidate would need to gather 79,939 signatures by May 9 from Texans who had also not voted in either of the primaries that year.
