A PARTY OF ONE
25th March 2004
Due to Congressional Redistricting, my former Precinct 32 in Midtown was split into two precincts. Precinct 32 got stuck with Culberson, but I got to keep Sheila as my Congresswoman.
My new precinct is all of 8 blocks long, between one and three blocks wide, and hosts 25-30 registered voters. Total. This made for an interesting Primary and Precinct Convention.
I am happy to report that 100% of the Democratic Primary Voters in my precinct attended the Precinct Convention.
I'm also pleased to report that a full delegation was elected to our Senate District 13 Convention from my precinct.
Unfortunately, no alternates could be elected as there were none eligible.
My convention minutes ran something like this:
Precinct 808 Democratic Party Convention was called to order at Houston Community College at 7:15pm by Cate Read, Temporary Chair of the Convention. Cate Read was nominated and elected Temporary Secretary. The Presidential Preference Caucus was held and John Kerry received 100% of the caucus delegation. Cate Read was nominated and elected as Chair of the Convention. Cate Read was nominated and elected Secretary of the Convention. No resolutions were passed, as the delegate was too lazy to fill out the paperwork. Precinct 808 was allowed to elect one delegate and one alternate to the Senate District 13 Convention, and Cate Read was elected Delegate, there being no eligible Alternate. Cate Read was elected Delegation Chair of the Precinct Convention. Cate Read moved that the convention adjourn sine die. Cate Read seconded the motion, and the vote was unanimous. The convention was adjourned at 7:18pm.
I was the only Dem voter in 808. There were no GOP voters in the Primary, so statistically I have the most Democratic Precinct in the State of Texas. As the only Democrat in 808, I was appointed Democratic Precinct Chair for 808 on the HCDP Executive Committee and sworn in at the HCDP Executive Committee Meeting on March 18th, 2004.
Frankly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
