Texas straight ticket confusion

We can vote Monday! So glad that this election will soon be over for better or worse. There is some confusion about straight ticket voting, but here's a clarification from the Texas Dem. Party. Basically, if you vote straight ticket, don't continue to vote for those same individual candidates or you will cancel out your vote for them.

[info] When you mark "Straight Democratic" then cast your ballot, your vote will count for Barack Obama and all the Democratic candidates, including all congressional, state and local Democrats on the general election ballot.

NOTE: A separate vote for an individual candidate is required only in a special election (e.g., Senate District 17)

OR

If you do not wish to vote a straight party vote, you must mark each individual candidate for whom you wish to vote, and then cast your ballot.

BUT

DO NOT SELECT "STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC" AND THEN SELECT INDIVIDUAL DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. THIS COULD CANCEL OUT YOUR VOTE FOR THOSE INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATES!
