State platform vote percentages, top priorities

We now have percentages to accompany the list we posted over the weekend of how each plank of the Texas GOP 2016 platform performed under a new scantron-style voting system.

See below for a table and the file below for the spreadsheet version.

Percentages and vote counts. (Excel file, via Google Drive)

We'll have a 2-3 word description of each question on this list soon. Until then click here for a numbered list of each platform item.

In short, they all passed. And ...

"Interestingly, not a single plank would have been removed under a 2/3rds majority requirement for passage," said James Dickey, Travis County GOP Chairman, of the results of last week's Texas GOP Convention's floor vote on the state platform.

Dickey said he would prefer some tighter wording and a little more consistency on certain items, but "overall it’s a good document that shows that Republican Party delegates in Texas are unified on their priorities and beliefs."

  1. Is there a Delegate List, by CD, SD & State Wide?

  2. We spent quite a bit of time on the planks that were discussed. I feel certain there would have been amendments to the other planks had time allowed.
