In the 2012 U.S. Presidential / Vice Presidential Election, Texas voted as follows:
It depends on the context, but as of now, generally speaking, all 50 states in the United States have the opportunity to vote in national elections. The specific voting schedule and deadlines may vary by state and election.
In 2008 there were 8,681,138 eligible voters in the State of Illinois.
The number of people eligible to vote varies by country and is based on factors such as age, citizenship, and registration status. In the United States, for example, there are over 200 million people eligible to vote.
In the U.S., the voting population is around 240 million eligible voters, which includes citizens over 18 years old who are not disqualified due to certain legal reasons. However, the actual number of people who vote in elections can vary from year to year based on voter turnout.
Men who were 21 were able to vote. African Americans were given the right but not allowed to vote and women didn't get the vote until the 1920's.
The state of Texas went for Republican candidate John McCain.
REPUBLICAN
When voting at the poles a Republican can vote on the Democratic ballot in Texas. A person can vote for whomever they choose at the polls at any time.
No. You are free to vote whomever you want in each election.
This group is called the Electoral College. It is a group of people from each state who decide whom to vote for based on the popular vote from the state they represent. It was designed by the Founding Fathers to mitigate the possibly detrimental effects of lack of education and literacy. With this system, the majority vote decides the votes of the members of the Electoral College. We do not have direct election of the president, although we do have direct election of senators. Here is an example: I live in Texas. I may vote Democrat, but the majority of the people in my state vote Republican. Therefore, the members of the electoral college representing Texas will vote Republican. My vote does not count because we do not have popular election of presidents. Many people feel that this practice needs to be retired because of the proliferation of information thanks to increased education and the media.
If more of the public vote Republican that year in that state then the Republican electors get appointed from that state instead of the Democratic electors.
Um its a state therefore it can vote.

Constitutional amendments must be ratified by the votes of 3/4 of the State Legislatures. There is no requirement for a plebiscite, or vote of the people. Each State Legislature can, if it chooses, base its decision on a popular vote, but I'm not aware that any do.
In U.S. Politics, a "Republican State" could mean a state in which the population is primarily of the Republican Party, or a state who's Electorates in the Electoral College system typically vote for Republican Party presidential candidates. In general, however, a Republican state could mean a government that is a "Republic," which means that specific rules may be in place, such as in a Constitution, that protect people, including minorities, from "angry mobs" of majority voters.
