Are some of you confused about Hillary's possible lawsuit in Texas?

We Answered:

I don't see how she has a leg to stand on. This was never a problem before, it can't be now just because Hillary says so.

Travis Said:

why do i have to meet for a precinct caucus after voting in Texas?

We Answered:

Texas is a primary/caucus state. Delegates are allotted both ways. Early vote today and report your precinct on March 4th. It's also called the Texas two step! Check out Barack's myspace page for a better understanding of the process: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fus…


Don't forget to Barack the Vote!

DO YOU UNDERSTaND THE TEXAS TWO-STEP RULES?

We Answered:

In another word:

1) One candidate may get 200 vote made actually by 100 real persons. ---------half or less are ghost votes!

2) Tonight we have no idea how many Republicans came out messing up by disabling Obama momentum.

3) They are designed for party-goers who know you can vote twice. Until tonight how many Texans do not know that ! Funny thing is that Local Officials acclaim: a huge turnout for caucus---------------they are the same people you see in the primary ! !

Brandon Said:

how do i find which precinct to vote at?

We Answered:

It should be on your voter registration card, however you can contact your local County Election Commissioner's office to find out for sure. Most states have a deadline for registering to vote, however some states offer same day registration. Contact your local County's office to find out what to do and where to go.

Alan Said:

If you have participated in the Texas primary and caucus, what is it like and what should I expect?

We Answered:

If you are in line to vote just before the primary polls close, you can vote in the primary and then stick around for the caucus without much additional waiting.

In the precinct convention, there are 2 major tasks. Calculate delegate allocation to the Senate/District Convention (next level of caucusing on Mar 29) and those delegates and alternates. Read and vote on proposed resolutions that may affect the Texas Democratic Party's stance on political issues or the party's internal rules. Overall this is like a mini-congress where you elect convention chairs, divide the group into caucuses for different candidate camps, and vote on resolutions.

You can submit your own resolutions. I will be submitting a resolution to change the name "Precinct Convention" to "Precinct Caucus Convention" for future election years.

Nina Said:

Do you think it is important for people to vote in primaries?

We Answered:

Yes, it's absolutely essential for people to vote in the primaries ..... especially the primaries for local elections.

With the current participation rates, just about any special interest group can make their candidate the nominee for local office just by getting their group's supporters to vote in the primaries. If you live in an area dominated by a single party, this is how you get the wackos representing you in Congress.

Last primary in my district, only about 20% of voters voted. With 6 candidates running, the winner of the primary pulled in about 5% of all voters (about 25% of the people voting in the primary). With one party dominating the elections ever since the Congressional district was created, that meant a Congressman that had been elected essentially on the support of 5% of the voters. He was objectionable enough that he nearly lost the general election in spite of his party never pulling in less than 60% of the vote in previous elections, but there's just no beating the letter attached to the name in some districts. Rather than vote for a candidate in the opposing party, a lot of voters just didn't vote for Congressman (with a full slate of elections for Governor, Senator, Sec of State, etc, the Congressional race had the smallest number of votes cast).
