Voter disenfranchisement in ID and UT by not allowing absentee voting. How many elderly, disabled,

[lunamagica]

Poor without reliable transportation, workers who couldn't get time of to caucus, how many of the were denied their right to vote?

How come no one is yelling about this voters (including Sanders) being disenfranchised?

1. Nurses, bus drivers, home caregivers....

People who have kids with disabilities.....the list goes on. Caucuses disenfranchise.

10. And professionals with 50+ hour workweeks

They don't have time to caucus OR stand in line for hours.

2. Voters are only disenfranchised

if they might vote for Bernie, else they are just out-of-luck losers. Just like red states don't count if they vote for Hillary but predict the second coming when they vote for Bernie. See, it really is simple if you just follow the BU rules.

3. Exactly.. do they care about that?

4. Caucuses does limit the participation of disabled persons, as some say it is voter suppression, I

would hope this would change and to do away with caucuses. It does prevent lots of Hillary supporters and older voters votes in greater percentages.

5. It disenfranchises people with JOBS. nt

11. +1000

As interesting as politics are to me, no way could/would I attend a caucus. How much more true would this be of people who are more indifferent to politics?

7. Last primary against Mitt was much easier here

I was able to vote anytime during the day, and it was well publicized. This time I found out about it last minute and was one of the last to vote.

I really did feel like it was a bad change to keep people away. Regardless, there was still massive turnout on all sides except for Trump.

8. They hate Caucuses after Iowa

and love them now. Caucuses are the only opportunity he has to run up high number. If Idaho and Utah would have been primaries the results would have been different.

9. Caucuses Suck - Disenfranchising - Chaotic

I'm working on a change.org petition for the Dems in my state to go back to primary.

12. And a mile long line in UT
