first hand report from West Seattle about the difficulties for many voters.

Family member tells me that the facility had many physical barriers for people not fully abled. Wheelchairs, canes, etc. -- impossible. The process took so long that many people left without letting their preference be known. People with children, disabled, elderly. They couldn't stand for long periods, they had to leave. Also, this precinct neighborhood is extremely diversified with many AA, but very few were seen at the caucus.

no problems in my area, every one with a cane, pregnant or disabled was found a seat and given a bottle of water. I sat in my walker.
