Oh yes, if you signed a petition, you CAN STILL VOTE TODAY!
Advanced from the comments:
Perry:I hate to nit pick, but you are mistaken when you say "Who can vote in the run-off election?...You can vote if...you have not signed a nominating petition this cycle for anyone other than a Democratic candidate....You cannot vote if you...signed a nominating petition this cycle for anyone other than a Democratic candidate."
In truth, you can vote in the runoff regardless of whether you signed Kinky's or Carole's petitions and your runoff vote simply has the effect of retroactively nullifying your signature (I know a couple of people who are voting tomorrow because they came to their senses after foolishly signing a Kinky petition, one of whom was solicited to sign the petition while drunk in a bar). See the Secretary of State website for details: http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/pamphlets/faqind.shtml.
I would be grateful if you would kindly make an effort to call some attention to this correction of the mistatement of Texas law regarding who can vote in the runoff.
Done with pleasure, Stop.

Thanks.
I know of at least a half dozen petition signers who have made the choice to vote in the runoff election.
