A chaotic caucus in a suburb of the Twin Cities
Advertisements [?]
There were 110 votes casted, Obama won 60 of them.

The way it was, people entered the room, and if their names were not on the list of the previous caucus attendees, and, I would say, 90 did not, they just filled their names and addresses on a separate paper, were given a piece of paper to write their preference, put it in a bucket and then left.

No one checked for names, addresses, party affiliation... For all I know some could have voted in one room and then came to ours to vote again. For all I know some could have come from Iowa to vote again.

But, hey, Obama won.

Just as a comparison, four years ago, same precinct, there were 24 of us.

I don't know if anyone checks the name and addressed but if there are frauds then, what? How do you know for whom they voted?

Give me a primary any day.
