I have a question. Did your caucus have piles of scrap paper votes on some candidates names before the event started at 7:00 PM? Mine did.
At every single caucus I have attended they run out of the official “ballots” and use random pieces of torn up scrap paper. This year, my location had maybe 50 official ballots for an expected showing of 200+ people. I used to think the party was just inefficient or stupid...but....
I am surprised to hear of some Dem and Rep caucuses that didn't have enough staff or ran out of things. Everyone and their dog knew that turnout would be overwhelming ahead of time.
