Texas Dems Tell Hillary, "NO!"

I love Texas. We Texans don't like to be messed with. That is why I was so happy this morning when I found out that Hillary Clinton's efforts to delay the March 29 Convention to choose delegates at the county or State Senatorial Level has been denied.
A little history; Monster Inc sent a letter on Friday saying they wanted to have all of the million signatures gathered during the Texas Caucus' verified before they were sent on to the March 29th County or State Senatorial Convention.
The Texas Democratic Party said, "NO!"
"The overwhelming majority of problems reported in Texas do not affect the legitimacy of delegates allocation," Texas Democratic Party Chairman Boyd Richie said in a statement Monday. "The Texas Democratic Party will not do as suggested by one campaign and circumvent party rules to set up an unnecessary, ad hoc 'verification' process that could effectively disqualify delegates selected at their precinct conventions after the fact."
Apparently Texas is immune to, and not fond of, kitchen sinks being thrown at them.
Ah well, I'm sure Monster Inc has other methods of voter disenfranchisement available to them. I wonder what their next tactic will be?
