Reply #31: And the caucus is more than just allotting delegates

[MagickMuffin]

We get to pass resolutions for our next two conventions (county/state) before the national convention. These resolutions then become the Texas Democratic platform to be adopted at state and then national.

There is no reason under the sun, voters shouldn't educate themselves.

Whether it is the primary or caucus, people should educate themselves on the process.

I wasn't excited about our caucus system, but if people knew how the process works then there wouldn't be all the problems we experienced. I now respect our process, since I have taken the time to learn about it.

Most of the voters/caucus participants were senior citizens. There was no excuse for them not to know the system, since it has been in place for decades.

Another thing that screwed up the confusion, is that early voters were told to come back to where they voted early which was incorrect. They should have been told to caucus at their precincts. The TDP needs to educate poll workers, election judges, and precinct chairs. The more informed our officials are the better the voters are served.
