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....

We probably 1100 people at ours, 2 precincts in one location. It was run very well. Names were matched against voter registration lists and a ballot was handed out after you showed a drivers license or voter card..
I didn't see they ran out of anything.
I actually helped 4 years ago and know the people who did it this year.
The overwhelming attitude is to do it right.

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.
