We caucused today. We've never done that before. It was pretty amazing because the turnout was so huge. It was also fun participating in democracy out in the open, rather than behind a curtain or through absentee ballot. We saw a lot of people reconnecting, probably neighbors that hadn't seen each other in years.
The line to get into the elementary school was super long but we only saw one person turn around. She was alone with two small children, so we can imagine getting there was a trial in itself but actually standing in a long line while trying to maintain two kids by yourself would probably be too daunting a task to tackle on a Saturday afternoon. We wouldn't have even attempted it.
