Clinton Camp Trying To Cheat Obama Voters in Texas

The Clinton campaign is telling its supporters to show up at Caucuses in Texas at 6:30 PM, whereas the Obama campaign has said 7 PM. It seems the idea is to essentially block Obama supporters from entering the caucus. Here's a note going around the Internet listservs:

The Clinton camp is telling folks to arrive at the caucus at 6:30 and
Obama is stressing 7:00pm.

This was forwarded to me. Please pass this around to all your Texas
Groups and anyone you know in the media! I was wondering today why
Hillary was telling her supporters to be at the caucus at 6:30!

In addition to the comments below, be aware that the potential impact of
this is that a full parking lot at 6:30 PM could dissuade late Obama
voters from casting their Primary ballot because they cannot find a
parking space. This could be considered impeding voting.

For Obama Precinct Captains who are monitoring their voting location on
March 4 (100 feet from the polling location until 7:00 pm or until the
last voter is done) stay alert and report any questionable activities to
the election judge and call the Obama Precinct Captain Hotline for
election day questions and concerns at 1-877-48-OBAMA (62262) or the Texas
Democratic Precinct Convention at 1-800-336-3254.

"Clinton has been telling her supporters to show up at 6:30
[Dallas/Mesquite speech on Saturday, March 1], while Obama keeps stressing
7:00. I'm afraid there's going to be some shenanigans involving closing
the doors at caucus sites when at capacity or at 7:15 PM whichever comes
first. There was a similar gambit run in Nevada where the Clinton camp
shut out a good number of caucus goers by barring the doors.

Anybody who has got a line on Obama folks or Texas caucus goers please
pass along the heads up to show up early and not to get muscled. Know your
rights!

Compounding this issue is the possibility there may not be enough caucus
chairs to go around for the 8,000 sights leading to the 1st person in the
door being the caucus arbiter (TDP's apparent policy).

Again let's try to get the word out about this possibility as there is no
doubt the Clinton camp is going to try to game this one."
