HOUSTON—The second day of early voting is over, but confusion has confronted many at the ballot box.

11 News sorted through some of the rumors Tuesday.

Many voters expressed concern about voting a straight-party ticket.

“I really didn’t know how to do the straight Democrat (ticket). It thought maybe you had to pick the Democrat you want and go down the whole list,” voter Tina Ross said.

State elections officials and Republican and Democratic representatives said voters can fill out a straight-party ticket and then vote to support candidates from the other party for any race they want.

But there was more confusion surrounding the presidential race.  An Internet rumor falsely suggested that those who vote a straight-party ticket will still have to cast a vote for president from that same party.

That’s simply not true. In fact, doing that will cancel out a voter’s pick for president.
