Increasing frustrations

It's after 5 p.m. -- nine hours after many people arrived at the Will Rogers Coliseum for the District 10 senatorial convention.

But some precincts don't yet have their packets that allow voters to caucus and choose delegates to attend the state Democratic convention this summer.

Not only that, but convention leaders have yet to discuss challenges to precinct caucuses, which must be presented to, and voted on, by the entire convention. This portion traditionally has taken up large chunks of time in other senatorial conventions.

"I make a motion that this nonsense end right now and we take this to the sttae," one man said into the microphone.

"We are very tired," another woman said.
