Does The Caucus Mess With Texas?

The UpTake has discovered something very disturbing in Texas. It appears the caucus system, which allocates about 1/3rd of Texas' delegates is lacking some very basic controls that could undermine the legitimacy of the caucuses, leaving it open to charges of fraud.

A day before the election, the Texas Democratic Party is unable to provide a list of where it has precinct chairs - the individuals who will run the Texas caucus - and where it doesn't. This video raises issues of accountability, transparency and legitimacy of the election.

UPDATE: We have obtained a list from Bexar County (San Antonio). About 75% of the precincts there have no chairs. more at http://www.theuptake.org

I think she thought you were one of those Democrats misguided enough to vote for McCain if their choice doesn't win. I'm glad she was wrong! 1/2 of us Dems wont get something we really want but CAN'T afford to cast a vote that helps McCain win. He said the economy was fine under GWB- ha! guess its fine for McC with Cindys 100 mil! He sings Bomb bomb Iran, mixes up Sunni & Shia & has notorious tantrums. Hello WW3! & if I was HRC or Bill Id SLAP him for what he said about Chelsea

if you say so!! it is as if she is running against Bill Clinton: if you compare OBAMAS personality to bill you might see my point..

I just read on MSNBC that Barrack's Foreign Policy will be modeled after Reagan's and Bush Senior! This who you're supporting?

[riojone]

wow! that is the the dumbest thing i've ever read. Maybe Hillary's Blonde hair means she has sunshine in her head? Maybe Barrack doesn't like eggs because I saw him wearing purple? Get over yourself.

this is how the texas caucus was ran. the results should be thrown out. it was so unfair and unorganized. the paper sheets that people are writing on could have easily been thrown out by someone. i know because i took a sheet home for my caucus. then i called a 1-800 number right after i left the caucus at 8:30 to complain that the caucus i attend was so ridiculous stupid. also, i let them know that my precident started before the last person finished voting in my precinct.

This is the sad fact of politics that curtail democracy. Texas is the seat of all debochery concern wield the power of the rich to steal justice from the people. And the people of Texas are always left looking like a fool, because no one will get off their butts and proclaim with a loud voice...For Gods Sake Will You Stop Fxxxin' Up The Darn Country by way of this State!!

No Where but Texas!!

thompsonmeatdogdiane, what in my post, led you to believe I wanted the state of the economy to continue? What I'm stating is: If Barrack Hussein Obama, wins the nomination, McCain wins. That will be your doing, if you get Barrack Hussein Obama as the Demoratic candidate. I'm 100% behind Hillary Rodham Clinton!

[thompsonmeatdogdiane]

Well I see you want the state of the economy to continue as it is? McCain admitted he don't know much about the economy. Well I hope you are rich.
