Austin, TX—

President Bill Clinton, at his last campaign stop of the day, claimed voter tampering at the Texas polls. He said that voters were being told that this evening’s caucuses were cancelled and some people were trying to sign up for the caucuses beforehand, which is not legal under Texas election law. He cautioned that everyone should “play by the rules.”

“We just have to make sure that everybody knows they have to come back tonight. We have had some very disturbing reports at some places where Hillary is strong that people are coming to these places and saying that the caucuses have been cancelled and they don’t have to come back,” Clinton told reporters, “We just gotta emphasize that there is going to be a caucus at every one of these polling centers. The other thing is that some people have been told apparently that there is going to be an effort to sign up in advance and slip the sheets in. And nobody’s signature counts unless you sign up after the polls close so we are going to have a caucus at every polling site and you cannot sign until the caucus begins - that’s the only signatures that are worthwhile.”

The 42nd president also expressed concern about the severe weather in the other primary state of Ohio, admitting that it is problematic for them:

“She was here this morning, she just got to Ohio. We have a different set of problems there, which is that there is very bad weather in some parts of Ohio so the efforts we have there is to have the same percentage of voters vote in every part of the state.”

Clinton spent primary day visiting polls, shaking hands, and taking pictures with voters in neighborhoods in and around Houston, San Antonio and Austin. In Austin, he popped out of his SUV talking on the phone with his wife. She could hear the cheers and Clinton said, “She loved it.” He greeted students and supporters outside of the Ann Richards Elementary School. Richards was a good friend of both the Clintons. He thanked everyone and reminded them to caucus this evening, “You’ve got to come back tonight” and “You have to make sure everyone knows they have to come back tonight.”

As for campaigning for his wife it’s no shock that he enjoys himself, “I love it. I like doing it for her I think she’s the best candidate for President.”
