Rush Limbaugh has been urging his listeners to vote for Hillary so as to prolong the Democratic contest. McCain clinched the GOP nomination a long time ago. So if you are a Republican in Texas, why not vote in the Democratic primary?
I saw a lot of that today while acting as a poll-watcher in two precincts in probably the most affluent area of Houston, River Oaks, where you cannot buy a house for less than probably 1.5 million dollars. I also saw it in my own precinct, adjacent to River Oaks and also affluent for the most part, combined with another precinct for voting and also caucuses/conventions. Both Democratic-only locations.
I don't know yet the results of the vote in the two precincts I monitored, where things could not have been smoother. One of the poll workers was an Obama precinct captain and we had no "issues" come up other than some complaints about a huge Obama sign that was fastened to school property.
In my voting precinct and the one combined with it for voting and caucus locations, HRC won narrowly. I don't know about the more affluent River Oaks precincts. My precinct caucus and the adjacent one went for Barack by about 56-44. What does that tell you?
