How was your voting experience?, Mine was a joke; Other things noted. Options

I usually partake in early voting so I don't have to deal with the crowds and can do it on my schedule but I decided to see what it was like to vote in the actual primary.

I headed to my precinct's station and there were about 300 Republicans standing there, flat out being told that there is no Caucus for Republicans This, as you well know, is a lie. When I walked up to receive my ballot I was asked which side I was voting for, I replied Republican and got two of the nastiest looks I have ever seen, so much for objective volunteers.

Other things I noted, at times, they were asking "Are you Democrat or Republican?" which is the wrong question to ask. I don't know if this was underhanded or just a mistake.

Lastly, I listened to Obama's speech and have to wonder, what does he really believe. He claims that we need to get out of Iraq and need to focus on home but last night he stated, "we can change the world" Well, not without taking part in it.

The Republican Party of Texas doesn't mention a caucus on their website. As far as I know, Republicans vote in the primary at the voting booth and that's how candidates are chosen.

I see what you're saying. There is a difference between a caucus and a convention, but whoever it is that you talked to should probably have known what you meant when you said caucus.

Yeah, I wasn't mad or anything and I doubt it was deliberate, but I think they should be informed before handing out info.
