Trouble at Texas Caucus Refuted: rat killed rat By Matthew Mosk As crowds swelled and tempers flared during the caucus-portion of the Texas primary earlier this week, aides to Hillary Clinton's campaign sent out an alert to reporters: "Emergency Press Call to Discuss Caucus Intimidation and Irregularities in TX." The reports of intimidation were coming from eye witnesses, including a phone call that Clinton's lawyers received from Carolyn Arambula, an advocate for injured workers in San Antonio. Arambula said she had spotted an Obama operative collecting signatures on a caucus sign-in sheet early in the day on March 4. If true, this would be a serious violation. The sheets were only supposed to distributed and signed that night, at the caucus event. The sign-up sheets would be proof that the voter physically attended the caucus to support a candidate. Now, one of those accused of "an irregularity" has stepped forward. Will Smith, a Washington, D.C. resident, says he was the man in Texas who faced Arambula's accusations and wants to tell his side of the story. Here's how Arambula described the incident: "He had a clipboard in his hand. I recognized the form as the one you would fill out for the caucus meeting," Arambula said. "I thought, 'My God, have you had people fill this out?'" After leveling the accusation, she said the two exchanged tense words outside Rudder Middle School, where voting was occurring. Smith's response: "I want to state that this claim is without merit. The apparent reason for this allegation was that the fact that I held a clipboard. It was not used to sign up caucus participants but rather to secure literature describing the caucus process. The rules permitted distribution of this kind of literature." Smith said he traveled to San Antonio in part because he supports what he described as "Senator Obama's call for a new type of politics based on civility and compromise rather than constant bickering." "Unfortunately perpetuating misimpressions about days like Tuesday, makes political cooperation based upon civility and mutual respect very hard to realize," Smith said.
