State Democratic Chair Asks County, Precinct Chairs Not To Predict, Interpret Precinct Convention Results For Press

Published on February 23, 2008 with No Comments

In a memorandum on the Texas Democratic Party’s website, State Chair Boyd Ritchie cautions precinct and county chairs about interpreting the results of precinct conventions on primary election night:

2. Due to the closeness of the candidates’ delegate count, there will be significant pressure placed upon us by the media, political pundits, candidates and activists alike to collect the results of our precinct conventions and “interpret” those results in terms of national delegate allocation. We should all remind the press that Texas’ convention process allows delegates to switch their presidential preferences up to the state convention sign in; as such, we ask that you not make any sort of predictions/interpretations for anyone given the non-binding nature of those results.
