They should certainly count all the caucuses which took place in the correct time period.
The should certainly not count caucuses which are happening after the election is over.
I am ambivilant about the caucus that had to be canceled because of weather. In any real election, stuff happens, and they don’t let us come back a week later to vote because of weather. On the other hand, we have had polls kept open an hour or two for weather or other reasons. On the third hand, that almost always happens because liberal complain and get special treatment.
But it would be absurd to take an election that is done, and have a new caucus now when only one candidate is crazy enough to still be fighting for the results, and count them as if they were the same as all the votes from people who came out in the bad weather of the week and voted for their candidates.
Of course, all of this is for a non-binding preference poll. I really am getting to hate caucuses, at least they way they are run — they make a mockery of the right to vote, and nobody seems to be able to run them without it looking like corruption is rampant.
Agreed with 100% of your post. Spot on IMHO. Count all of the ones who voted properly...do not count the ones who do not.
They all knew what day it was and they all know they are living in Maine in February.
The state has the right to establish how they elect their delegates I suppose...but I too much prefer a straight up primary as opposed to a caucus.
Don't some states allow for early voting over a series of days like FL? It isn't so much the way states vote but what the outcome is. Playing games in IA and ME to boost the beltway favorite is crooked pool.
