Caucus Issues


A group of people from around the state left this afternoon's general sesssion to testify before a committee regarding precinct caucus and county/senate district convention problems and perspectives.

Almost everyone experienced one kind of problem or another, most at the precinct level experiencing significant facility and organizational problems. Most people seem to embrace the caucus system, though most also recommend changes.

Among the suggestions are moving the day the caucus is held (for example, on the Saturday following the election rather than on the evening of the election), or changing the way delegates are allocated. Some would want to do away with caucuses alltogether, though it seems that most would like to keep it and advocate canges, better planning, better facilities, etc.
