20. Entirely possible
And I certainly can understand how caucusses also eliminate the abilty of many to attend that otherwise would do so.

However we are doing ours on a saturday as oposed to mid normal work week for many people and the at large caucuses are also adding an element of allowing people to participate that otherwise would do so.

I expect to see a much larger turnout this time arround than we had last and that by itself will mean more people actually participated despite not being able to hide in a box. So we will end up with a net gain instead of the disenfranchisement you mentioned.

Also there is nothing elite about the voters just because they happen to have saturday off.
