Upcoming state conventions [View all]

I will be going to the Texas convention in June. I saw that the Sanders supporters wanted to see if they could steal delegates at the state conventions. Under each state delegate selection plan, the number of delegates were allocated based on the primary and you cannot vary that. In addition, each Democratic candidate has absolute right to approve all of their pledged delegates and I know that the Clinton campaign is vetting all of her pledged delegates in Texas (I am helping vet the delegates from my senate district).

The rules for Democratic conventions and GOP conventions are very different.

The Texas GOP convention is this weekend and there is open carry inside that convention. Anyone want to bet on the number of people shot by "accident" at that convention?
