Background Mitt Romney, who lost the Texas election four years ago and lost the 2008 race to John McCain, launched his re-election campaign and won enough delegates to the 2012 Republican National Convention to face the incumbent president at that time, Barack Obama.Shear Michael D. 2011-06-03 Romney, Opening Race, Presents Himself as the Candidate to Face Obama https://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/03/us/politics/03romney.html 2024-04-21 The New York Times en-US 0362-4331 Procedure Date The election was originally scheduled to take place on Super Tuesday (March 6), but due to litigation over the state's redistricting following the 2010 United States census, it was rescheduled for April 3. That date is uncertain and the primary was expected to be held, earliest in late May 2012, with both May 22 and May 29 being proposed. U.S. District Court judge Xavier Rodriguez, one of the three judges overseeing the litigation, had suggested a June 26 date for the election. Finally, on March 1, 2012, the court issued an order setting the date of the primary to May 29, 2012.Primary and Caucus Printable Calendar https://edition.cnn.com/election/2012/calendar.html 2024-04-21 CNNElection results and voting information https://www.fec.gov/introduction-campaign-finance/election-results-and-voting-information/ 2024-04-21 FEC.gov en2012-02-16 Judge in Texas redistricting case tells Republican state officials to plan for May 29 primary - The Washington Post The Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/federal-judges-await-compromise-on-texas-voting-maps-that-might-push-state-primary-into-may/2012/02/15/gIQA1NL9ER_story.html 2024-04-21 2012-02-16 https://web.archive.org/web/20120216065954/http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/federal-judges-await-compromise-on-texas-voting-maps-that-might-push-state-primary-into-may/2012/02/15/gIQA1NL9ER_story.html bot: unknown Candidates The following candidates achieved on the ballot:Texas Republican Delegation 2012 https://www.thegreenpapers.com/P12/TX-R 2024-04-21 www.thegreenpapers.com Mitt Romney Ron Paul Rick Santorum (withdraw) Newt Gingrich (withdraw) Uncommitted (voting option) Michele Bachmann (withdraw) Jon Huntsman (withdraw) Buddy Roemer (withdraw) L.
