Does not look like a high turnout ?.....
10,000 voters so far
You’ve identified the key issue with this article. It’s so poorly written/edited that it’s indecipherable. I stopped at your post looking for clarity, but if you don’t get it, then it really is as unintelligible as I thought.
To all popcorn lovers, here’s today’s popcorn tip:
Opened popcorn tins & bags, if stored properly, can stay fresh for 2-3 weeks.
What with the way dems hate Trump and want to see him defeated, they are very motivated to get out and do something about it.
If the last three caucuses are the best they can do, they are so screwed......
I predict popcorn sales will boom given this Democrat primary.
Having the primary on a Saturday might have hurt them too.you would have to be a very enthused voter to give up a Saturday.
So which is it? An article earlier in the list says Latinos helped Bernie over the finish line. Maybe Latinos are split, which is all good for us.
It seems hemorrhaging is hyperbole
A more accurate word might be bled.
The caucuses bled latino voters.
each human is a unique individual ... abandon groupthink ...
working primaries in Houston in a rainbow church-not very busy but its mostly white women voting D & gay guys & metro boys voting D .
I would hazard an 8:1 ration for D to Right voters
OK. I’m confused. How can there be ‘early voting’ in a caucus state? In my mind the essential difference between a “primary election” and a “caucus” was that the latter was done in-person, and out in the open. Primaries were done in a voting booth.
Bernie will pick Warren as his running mate and a week or so before the convention Bernie will be found dead in his hotel room. Bammo! The fix will be in for Warren and the convention will pick her running mate.
In a week of mostly good news overall, this is the single most encouraging thing I have read.
When there is a “caucus” for POTUS, do they also pick party candidates for lesser federal, state, and local offices also, or a separate primary election for those?
Oh no! What will the weekend FR hand wringing crew do with this one!?
NOT ALL OF US ARE VILE, EVIL AND VICIOUS.
I just changed from pubbie to demonRAT in PA {we have closed primaries} and while I may lie a little {to protect your feelings} I am not evil.
I'm getting set to join operation chaos, but, like a true demonRAT, it's too soon for me to pick a loser.
I have to wait and see if it matters and where I can sew mischief.
I do this whenever it may affect a demonRAT outcome.
In 2012 it didn't matter and in 2016 I had to stay a pubbie so I could vote for Trump in the primary.
Trump doesn't need my vote in the primary and it may help screw with the demonRATs, always enjoyable.
The people at the records office hate people like me, because they can see what we are doing {and almost all of them are demonRATs}.
IF the ICE would RAID all the hospitality locations & Western Union locations in the USA, there would be far fewer illegal invaders here.

Maybe they could use Kalitta Air to fly them back to Guatamala border.
I think the main difference between a caucus and a primary is that in these caucuses, those who vote for those at the bottom end of the rung (that is their candidates get <15%) get to "revote" for a bigger vote-getter. That, and a caucus eliminates the concept of a secret ballot.
I don't like the idea of a caucus, mainly for the loss of secrecy in voting. I think that opens the process to pressure and intimidation. It's unAmerican.
As for "early caucus" voters... I think they had to choose three candidates in rank order. If their first choice was non-viable (<15%) then their vote was assigned to their second choice.
How they managed all that with 75,000 early votes and maintained any sort of confidence level... I can't explain.
