great point... that could be one of the reasons he does so much better in the caucuses... because the primaries are mostly done on diebold machines.
damn you're good. |

What's Taking So Long in Texas?Waiting for the caucus results in the Lone Star State.
By Michelle Tsai
Hillary Clinton won the Texas Democratic primary on Tuesday, but even two days later we still don't know who won the ensuing caucus. Just 41 percent of the state's precincts have reported unofficial caucus results, and news reports on Thursday said the state was still counting its caucus votes. What's taking so long?
Snail mail. According to the rules of the Texas Democratic Party, the chair for each election precinct doesn't have to mail local caucus results to the state party headquarters in Austin until the third day after the convention, Friday. Party officials tried to speed things up this year; they set up an 800 number so that chairs could call in results on Tuesday night, instead of dropping them in the mailbox. But, ultimately, they couldn't force anyone to actually pick up the phone.
Caucuses in Texas were supposed to start relatively late anyhow—at 7:15 p.m. CST or whenever the last ballot was cast at the poll—but there were so many voters that some conventions didn't get going until after 9 p.m., by which time TV networks had already forecasted winners in other states. When meetings finally did start, some fights broke out between Obama and Clinton supporters; in Dallas County, one chairwoman fled to the police station. |
