Welcome to the Free Republic Caucus
Please read the rules, and participate according to the guidelines provided. Thank you.
REMEMBER: To find the Caucus thread for the day, Search "Caucus"
The New England Primaries (172) take place in five days.
Only vote on this thread on: 04/21/2016 another thread will pop up moments before: 04/22/2016
Wait to vote until 12:00 midnight EST, and don't vote after 12:00 midnight EST at the at the end of the day. Look for the new thread.
Votes outside the 24 hour period, will not be counted. Give it three minutes or so on each end, so you are sure to get your vote counted.
NOTICE: The Free Republic Caucus will end on Thursday - April 28th.
No new thread will appear at the end of the day of the 28th, for the 29th.
Results for the 28th will be posted at the bottom of the voting thread for the 28th,
once they have been worked up.
Sometime in the week after the 28th, I will work up a lot of statistics on the vote.
Individual's names will used sparingly and only for positive aspects of the vote.
Most of the reporting will deal with numbers of voters and different aspects of the votes.
I would like to thank all of you who participated. I had hoped it would be something we all could enjoy.
I enjoyed producing it, and I know some folks enjoyed participating. To those of you who saw something
sinister in it, that was not my intent.
On January 20th, I started what I thought would be a two week exercise everyone could enjoy.
Three months and eight days later, we will wrap up the FR Caucus.
I would like to thank WindFlier and Lonely Bull for their efforts to provide a place for folks to talk after the voting day had ended. They did a great job.
This was something they came up with on their own, and I think it was a great addition. Lonely Bull provided a different format of links to results for people to use.
One thing I really appreciated, was that hardly any negative comments were made about those who participated on the voting threads.
No matter who folks voted for there, almost everyone respected those voter's votes.
Freepers are pretty good people at heart.
I would also like to thank the unsung hero here on Free Republic. All too often we forget Jim and this forum and the service he provides here.
Without Free Republic, this caucus would not have taken place. Thank you very much for the nearly two decades of Free Republic Jim.
You and the forum have become an important part of our lives. To those who help you out, they are also appreciated very much.
If you have questions, FReep Mail me. DO NOT disqualify your vote by posting anything other than votes on the thread. No exceptions.
Extended Version of the Caucus Rules: LINK
Everyone should read these once.
This will be a formal election process, and I need your help to make it successful.
To Vote: pick from the candidates here, and type "Vote" and the "Name" as it appears here. You're vote should look just like one of these selections.
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE YOUR POST BOLD, A DIFFERENT FONT SIZE, OR ADD PUNCTUATION. DON'T ADD TEXT, LIKE "Vote Name, of course".
I do not wish to invalidate anyone's vote, but your creativity leads to others wanting to be creative. Be creative on other threads if you value your vote.

RESULTS: 04/20/2016 and other days results as well.
This link to the results will not work until I post them to my web site. Please be patient. Most nights the results will be up in 15 minutes after the caucus has ended for the day. Thank you.
Please note the "PREVIOUS" and "NEXT" on either side of the graphic just above the bottom one. You can move back to other day's Results Information using those..
There's already a "NEXT" to the page for tomorrow's results. It won't work until after the caucus tomorrow is closed, and the results are posted.
Please do not use punctuation.
Please do not write me nice complimentary notes (or any othere notes) on this thread. They invalidate your vote. They entice others to do it too without thinking. Please don't. Votes only!
Please do not vote before the change of the hour. Give it at least three minutes. If you don't wait, your vote cast outside the 24 hour window won't count!
I really do appreciate you taking part in this, and it bothers me to have to invalidate your votes. Please comply.
