Inside the Texas PrimaCaucus
Unbelievable.
If you thought the Tejas PrimaCaucus was a mess, this from my brother. My sister-in-law and nephew didn't get a caucus permission slip when they early voted:

They don't make it obvious about what needs to be done. As I recall from many years ago, since they stamped your voter's card showing you voted in the Democratic primary, all you had to do is take it and show it at the door. With the electronic machines they don't automatically do that so I asked and had to go to another table to get it stamped and get the slip.

Thank You for getting the word out.
For further information see below.
BTW:
Our quirky Texas "democratic" voting system is a 3 tier process! The number of delegates won will not be known until June.
"... we won't know on primary night who's getting what delegates. Someone may be able to claim victory in the primary vote, but it'll be impossible to truly determine the delegate winner until this Summer when we hold our state convention on June 6-7. I hope that this post will help everyone understand the process, especially those who are planning on participating for the first time this year."

It is complicated and ridiculous!
I've never caucused before, I will do so on 4 March. The process seems backward: vote then caucus?
