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).
