My TX precinct caucus JUST finished.....Obama 90, HRC 40
if my county is any indication it's going to be a long while before caucus results are reported.
Repuke red Collin County pretty much fucked over Dems tonight...not enough machines for Dems, tried to shove 130 of us in a single classroom while the SMALL group of repukes had the huge cafeteria to themselves...Dems waiting 2 hours in line to use "their" machines while the repukes' machine sat there unused. At noon today there were four Dem machines, at 5 pm there were TWO..yet there sat four repuke machines all day long. We did finally get to move to part of the cafeteria after about 2 hours of being in the hot overcrowded class and overflow in the hallway
The building was PACKED (3 precincts in one school). The last vote was cast at 9 pm and THEN the caucus got to start.

Oh...and the person running the show tried to say that each Obama and HRC would get eight delegates til the Obama crowd said WHAT THE FUCK WE HAVE TWICE AS MANY PEOPLE...only then did they do the CORRECT formula for figuring it out...we got 12, they got 8.


One lady had gotten there at 4:30 to vote..and just got to leave at 10:30 when the caucus ended.

Hang in there Texans!!!!!

6. the person running the show
Were they obvious in their support of a particular candidate? I mean, was this person a Hillary supporter who attempted to disenfranchise Obama supporters? Was there tension with this? Please, do tell us more if you can.

7. Kinda glad I live in a small town
We had four precincts in the same room. We were hopping but my precinct managed to wrap it up at 10:00 pm. One precinct was still debating resolutions and another was doing paperwork when I left.
