Area Democrats may be uninvited to state convention

It was a localized version of the Michigan/Florida debate in Grand Prairie today and once again, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama supporters were at odds.

Local Clinton supporters advocated Thursday for unseating ALL of the Democratic delegates from Collin County because their senate district conventions were held on the wrong day.
Officials with the Collin County Democratic Party said they chose to hold the convention a day late because there wasn't a large enough venue in the county available for the scheduled date of Saturday, March 29. Party officials warned at the time that the eligibility of their delegation may be challenged.
A state credentials committee for the Texas Democratic Party was in Grand Prairie holding hearings on over 100 challenges to North Texas delegates who were elected to attend next week's state Democratic convention in Austin.

Challenge to Collin County Democrats denied

The Texas Democratic Party's temporary credentials committee voted unanimously this evening to deny a challenge aimed at unseating the entire Collin County delegation from attending next week's state convention.

Frederick Barrow, an Obama supporter from Collin County, tells us the committee decided to reject the challenge after it was discovered the man who made the challenge didn't live in Collin County.

During debate on the challenge this morning, at least two members of the 10-member temporary credentials committee signaled they may be willing to vote in favor of deseating the Collin County delegates because the county party held their convention last month on the wrong date.
