Uh yeah. We did it too big last night. The Texas Two-Step system sucks. lol. I wish the PJ had tried to shut down our location. There would have been a melee. i heard of two instances were the PJs left and didn't return to open up the caucus after the primary election had closed. A college friend who was in Dallas was stating that her location was packed too. As far as the caucus part, that was by paper ballot. For the all elections in Harris County (can't speak for the surrounding counties), it's electronic machines. It was interesting that Obama took the urban counties (with the exception of San Antonio). From what I saw on news reports, those were the most heavily caucus areas.

Now that is a crazy azz stipulation for Ohio. Wow.

Earlier last night, I spoke with a Sororfriend in the area, and her friend interrupted our call to say that there were hundreds in line waiting to caucus where she was.

You all like to do things BIG in Texas.

I heard on TJMS that in Ohio, precints ran out of ballots. There were also cases when voting on paper, there are stipulations that voters must follow. For instance, when voting on paper the ink can't bleed through the paper. huh?

I know Louisiana is on the bottom of the list for many national lists, but I am so glad we have had voting machines, and these new computerized machines. You just click on the area and CAST VOTE!
