24. Not if you have universal absentee caucusing
WA allows absentee caucusing for the disabled, people in the military, and people whose religious observance is Saturday. Maine allows it for any reason whatsoever--I'm trying to get Washington to adopt that. We have too goddam much citizen passivity anyway IMO. The caucus process gets people more involved with party politics on an ongoing basis. The primary system gets people less involved, and more passively dependent on the media soundbites that only the wealthiest candidates can afford.
