Earlier today, the Texas Democratic Party denied a request by the Clinton campaign to have the state party verify all one million caucusgoers and postpone the county conventions as a result.

"It is not appropriate, nor is it lawful, for the TDP staff to review these signatures and disqualify persons and/or re-calculate results. The Texas Election Code 174.025(c) requires the precinct chair to determine the eligibility of participants. There is no statute, rule or directive that authorizes the TDP to comply with your request...

With regard to your campaign's request to push back the upcoming March 29, 2008 precinct conventions, this request also can not be accommodated."

I'll let the party's attorney, Chad Dunn, explain for himself. The full letter from the TDP to the Clinton campaign attorney is here.
