And many people also host family gatherings. It's also between two busy days on the Christian calendar. I'm going to be generous and guess that since Easter was really early this year it was an oversight. And, I know of at least one caucus site that was holding an Easter Egg hunt the very same time as the caucus. There are lots of Easter-related activities the day before.

On Lopez Island, for example, the Catholic mass is held at 10:30 on Saturdays (one priest for all the San Juans) and they did not change it to accommodate the caucuses.
