2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumNorth Dakota proves that caucuses are a blight on democracy. Shameful turnout.
But caucuses make it very difficult to GOTV. I hope the DNC does away with them.

(15,951 posts)It is interesting that Hillary won South Dakota primary and lost ND Caucus.
It is interesting that she lost the Nebraska caucus but won the Nebraska primary
She also lost the Washington caucus and won the Washington primary.
More people who vote the better she did--and better opportunities for people to vote as compared to caucuses.
