The top local stories this morning from ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº: Polls are open until 7 tonight to vote in the Texas primary. Republican presidential candidates are vying for 155 delegates, while Democrats have 251 delegates for the taking.
Since Texas is not a winner-take-all state, even a second or third place finish among the candidates mean they’ll still come away with some delegates.
More than 1.7 million - or 12 percent of registered voters in the 15 largest counties - were cast in early voting.
ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº will have live coverage of the results tonight at 7. We’ll also be live-blogging throughout the day.
