This is Great news for us Duncan fans! Mary Ham writes
"Hunter won because he showed up and shook hands, old-school style, all day yesterday and all day today. Only activists who've attended past conventions were allowed to vote, and they were receptive to his message and his commitment to the crowd."
Duncan is working hard and his message is what a lot of voters are looking for. With only delegates and past delegates getting to vote, this is a great victory for Duncan in a huge state. Name recognition has been Hunter's problem so far. This will go along way to helping to get his name out in Texas!
