Sign-in sheet flap: a false alarm?

This fight over sign-in sheets may just be a misunderstanding.

At North Euless Elementary, two Hillary Clinton supporters standing outside the school were reminding voters of the caucus and passing around a sign-up sheet, said Tommy Daves, the precinct chairman.

The sign-up sheets they were using, however, were identical to the official sheets used at the caucuses.

Daves told them that wouldn’t work, and he destroyed the sign-ups. The Clinton supporters started a new sign-up on different forms.

Jack Weiss, one of the supporters, said he wasn’t trying to confuse voters. They just accidentally grabbed the wrong forms in the morning.

“It’s been crazy all day,” Daves said. “It’s gonna be like an indoor rodeo tonight.”

Tarrant County Democratic Chair Art Brender said this sign-in sheet flap was resulting from a bunch of “false alarms” from both campaigns.

Brender has spent his day racing from polling location to polling location checking up on complaints. Everything so far has had a logical explanation, he said.

Of course, none of this explains the allegation from the Obama camp - that at an Oak Clift precinct, someone is telling people that if they put down their name and presidential pick on a sheet, they won't have to come back tonight to caucus (which is completely false).
