I am deeply offended by some shenanigans in Today's Texas Conventons

[Perky]

I am not assigning this to any candidate....but this is the worst type of voter supression and deceit. SOmeone should be prosecuted for this and if it rolls up to the candidate they should be stripped of all their Texas delegates:

From Bord Richie Chairman of the Texas Democratic Party

Dear fellow Democrat,
In recent weeks, the Texas Democratic Party has seen an unprecedented surge in participation, particularly in our Convention process. Thanks to our two outstanding candidates, Texas saw up to a million people participate in their Precinct Conventions, and we are expecting historic turnout at tomorrow's County and Senatorial District Conventions.
If you were elected as a delegate or alternate to your County or Senatorial District Convention, make sure to attend tomorrow. You can click here for more information, including a list of convention locations. Thanks to tremendous enthusiasm from grassroots Democrats, I am confident that these Conventions will be an unparalleled success.
{b}Unfortunately, that enthusiasm may sometimes lead people to act irresponsibly. We have heard reports that misinformation is being spread about tomorrow's County and Senate District Conventions, perhaps using the name of the Texas Democratic Party. Some delegates have reported receiving emails saying that conventions have been cancelled. We have also heard unconfirmed reports that someone is placing robo-calls, claiming to be from the Texas Democratic Party, suggesting that county or district conventions have been cancelled.
The Texas Democratic Party has not been informed that any county or district convention has been cancelled or postponed. If you have heard otherwise, please plan on attending your convention as scheduled unless you receive information from your Democratic County Chair or the official Texas Democratic Party website.
As we begin the next step in the convention process, all eyes are once again on Texas, watching and waiting to see the outcome of our Conventions. I am confident that the vast majority of Democrats will conduct our convention business in the fairest, most professional, and most impartial manner possible, as we work to convert the enthusiasm driving the convention process into Democratic victories from the County Courthouse to the State House to the White House.
Your friend and fellow Democrat,

Boyd L. Richie

1. I wonder who would be desperate enough

to try a Republican scumbag trick like voter suppression?
Actually "NO I don't"

2. I wish I could use some trace tools on those emails.

But I think we both know where I would end up.

3. Low turnout only benefits one person.

4. I am deeply offended that people here are such poor readers.

"We have heard reports that misinformation is being spread about tomorrow's County and Senate District Conventions, perhaps using the name of the Texas Democratic Party. Some delegates have reported receiving emails saying that conventions have been cancelled. We have also heard unconfirmed reports that someone is placing robo-calls, claiming to be from the Texas Democratic Party, suggesting that county or district conventions have been cancelled."

Read that again, if you didn't understand it the first time. "We have heard reports..." "...perhaps..." "Some delegates have reported..." "...unconfirmed reports..." "...someone..." "...suggesting that..."

Weasel words. They say nothing. Words DO matter, if they say anything.

8. You folks just keep ignoring reality.

[Ronnie]

11. The only reality I'm speaking of here

is the disturbing habit some people on this site have of MAKING STUFF UP and then posting it as if it's real. Then others metaphorically run around shrieking like eight-year-olds when they're scared.

"There's a ghost in the closet!"
"How do you know?"
"Jimmy told me."

5. Oh gee, I wonder WHO might behind this trickery

ladidadida....... who oh who could it be ???

6. How many robo-calls?

Get that court action into action.

7. I would have to think

that the calls are either targeting Obama delegates, or Hillary delegates. Probably not both.

But the source of the calls is not necessarily from within one of the campaigns. It could be an overenthusiastic supporter. It could even be a GOP dirty trick. More info is needed.

9. There must have been Caller -ID's

[InsultComicDog]

10. which are easily spoofed

hell, even *I* know how to do that and I'm no hacker
