What a disgrace in Texas. The odd hybrid Texas Democratic primary and caucuses were held nearly two weeks ago, on March 4. The primary votes were quickly tallied, with Hillary Clinton winning by a small margin over Barack Obama. On the delegate side, however, they were about even.
The same night as the primary, however, Texas also held Democratic caucuses, at which roughly a third of the state's delegates were at stake. The caucuses were well-attended. It appeared that Obama won. By the next day, the state Democratic party was reporting that with 41% of the caucuses counted, Obama led 56%-44%.
But then nothing else happened. If you check around, the count is still the same--41% of caucuses have been counted. What the heck?
Apparently, some precincts, such as those in Harris County (Houston) haven't even started the process. Texas Democrats should not be so sanguine.
Truly, Texas Democratic officials should be embarassed. Count the votes and report the results!
