(72,790 posts)2. I dislike caucuses
I would probably never get to vote if my state was a caucus state (I work nights and weekends).
I think they need to eliminate caucuses.

(812 posts)4. Where is that a problem?
It's not in WA, where you'd simply vote absentee.
But I'm sure it must be somewhere, as you'd never just make shit up.
