More than 1.5 million Texan Republicans cast their ballots in the first statewide primary since President Donald Trump was elected to office. But in Foard and Zavala counties, not one voted.

In Foard County, near the Texas-Oklahoma border, only one person even showed up to the polls. Zavala County, about 100 miles north of Laredo, didn't even hold a primary.

The counties, which are heavily Democratic, don’t have GOP chairs. Zavala County Clerk Oralia Trevino said her county didn’t hold a Republican primary for this reason. She said the county could have contracted with the state to provide Republican ballots but that she "called too late."

"There wasn't enough time, and I was very busy with doing the Democratic primary," Trevino said.
