Reply #8: The Problem With A Caucus [View All]

[iamjoy]

is not only the fact that the vote is not private, but the number of people who are automatically excluded. What if some one is in the military and on deployment or just another voter who has to be out of town for one reason or another? What about the voters who are nurses, firefighters, or in another profession where they can't get the time off to caucus?

Most (if not all) states have some kind of absentee ballot provision for elections, but if I understand correctly, that's not an option in a caucus.

What's cool about a caucus though is the chance to support a second choice. I think it would be good if this could somehow be worked into all elections.
