And now for the ridiculous part of the primary fallout

ABC13 Houston's Miya Shay reports in her blog that LULAC is considering suing the Texas Democratic Party over the primary process, claiming it disenfranchises Latino voters.

You know, I'm just going to say it. LULAC, shut up already.

Tuesday's caucus process was chaotic and disorganized. It's estimated that over one million people turned out for Democratic caucuses statewide. I know that at my precinct, up in a fairly conservative portion of Travis County, we saw 650 Democrats turn out to caucus Tuesday night, and others report similar experiences in places as diverse as Harris County, Montgomery County, East Austin, Euless, Denton County, Collin County.....yeah, everywhere.

At our precinct, the precinct captains were overwhelmed, being questioned and yelled at by several excited and uninformed voters. There were fire marshals on hand telling them they had to move outside, a building manager practically in tears because she hadn't expected a quarter of the people who showed up, and people whispering about calling the police to help suss out the parking issues. Oh, and, the election judge didn't know half of what was going on and was impossible to find in the melee.

All of that to say that LULAC is out of their minds, as usual. There was no concentrated effort to exclude Latinos. It was hard enough making sure that the process was followed at all, and I sincerely doubt anyone said to themselves gee, I think I'll just exclude a whole minority group from the process.

If their argument has something to do with the lack of Spanish-speaking caucus leaders or Spanish-language ballots, well.....man, I'd love to see the Democrats fight back on that.

This may be the only time, EVER, that I will agree with Hector Nieto, but sheesh people! Tuesday night was unprecedented. No one was prepared for the kind of turnout they got. "Staying up late" is not an excuse to go and sue the party (hell, I had to wade through hundreds of Democrats, put up with process junkies reciting Roberts Rules of Order, and didn't get home until midnight - I don't plan to sue the Republican Party of Texas over it).
