And they bully the others into caucusing for Sanders.

...politics for years. Silver haired activists! Thanks bernie!

Most polling stations are open for 12 plus hours in Va from 6am to 7 pm in MD from 7 am to 8 pm so people have the ability to vote. In a caucus you must give up hours of your time and disclose your vote in public.

Caucuses are both awful and in democratic. Mrs Clinton would have even won by larger margins 4 years ago.

They also require a time commitment that caregivers and many other groups of people can't make. They disenfranchise.rhe disabled. They are intimidating.

..the local high school gym for 3 hours to argue the merits of their candidate and vote amongst their fellow precinct voters. Its a very grass roots andy of mayberry bob newhart vermonty bed n breakfast type of activity. But last election there was a lot of bullying and disruptions and our state voted to go to a primary...and we are all mail in so now we dont have to go anywhere to cast out vote 'cept to the maibox.

But i LOVED the caucuses. I will miss them.

With just 50 percent in, over 700,000 people have voted. There will be well over 1,000,000 people who actually vote and Joe Biden will win the majority of them.

Actually having elections matter. Caucuses are not democratic.

A caucus is a social event.

A lot less people are able to vote. Peer pressure and bullying happens in caucuses.

New Hampshire was a primary.

since it usually requires a much larger time commitment.
