Election volunteers trailed former Dallas City Council member Sandra Crenshaw, who was serving as a precinct chairwoman, through Oak Cliff late Tuesday. They allege that she sent away hundreds of angry convention-goers and told them she was taking sign-in documents favoring Barack Obama home to "correct them."
Ms. Crenshaw, who supports Hillary Rodham Clinton, paints a different picture – of a mob of Obama supporters from other states who were so unruly that she had to seek refuge at a police substation.
Democratic Party officials say they're still trying to figure out just what happened at the Singing Hills Recreation Center. So far, they know that Obama voters far outnumbered Clinton fans – and they say it appears that Ms. Crenshaw intended to use voting totals from earlier in the day to ensure that Mrs. Clinton received some of the precinct's delegates.
But Obama voters at the caucus say Ms. Crenshaw ducked out of the door and hopped into a friend's car, sign-in sheets in hand, shouting that she was going to Denny's. Instead, she led them to a local police substation, where police said she banged on the windows and shouted, "I'm being chased!" Inside the station, police confiscated the sign-in documents and called the Dallas County Democratic Party chairwoman, raising the possibility of voter fraud.
