Thread Name: BS: Primaries
Subject: RE: BS: Primaries
Well, that might be a solution, Charley. I'm in Oregon, and of course, we have "mail in" elections. So everybody who wants to vote has to fill out a ballot and mail it in. That's the only way to do it. If the caucus states would automatically mail a provisional ballot to every registered voter, and then let them attend, or not attend, the caucus if they wanted to, that might fix the problem.
                  Like I said earlier, this would nor have become an issue in any other election. You have to have a close election for these kinds of problems to surface. But when you see the results of Clinton winning primaries, and Obama winning caucuses, and it's widely known how the demographics break down, the process screams out for some attention.
