I have heard they have until Mar. 29th to get the numbers in. I would be disappointed if they didn't get it right and stopped counting. I don't understand why everyone was so surprised at the turnout. Texas didn't do their job in making sure everything went smoother. We messed up as a state. I'm also curious what will turn out with the Michigan and Florida delegates. Guess we'll see soon. Thanks for your comments. Televisiontraci, I hadn’t heard anything about stopping the counting.

If it is, how do you feel about it considering how much trouble you went to in order to vote. Do you want every last vote counted?

That does sound bad. It took me about 3 hours to get done with the entire process. We had about 4 precincts at our location. I know a lot of others faced the same type of situation. I've heard people were writing and emailing Senator Royce West and Howard Dean urging them to change the process. Texas wasn't ready to handle the turnout it received.

Latoya and I showed up at 8pm and waited around for 2 and a half hours in 30 degree temps to caucus. There were hundreds of people there ready to caucus but they started dropping like flies as the cold night wore on. Unfortunately, with a day of TAKS looming over us, we did as well. The best thing we could do was sign a petition for change to the whole process (or at least the facilities). At our location, we had 9 precints voting at one little 600 square foot location with little parking. You had people parking blocks away and walking to perform their civic duty. However, it was nice to see so many people out to let their voices be heard. I just hope it's that way in November. Caucusing sucked!
