3. From an open caucus in 2016 to to mail out/ mail back

ranked vote process in 2020. That is amazing.

Before: a six hour hangout in an auditorium where Republicans registered as Democrats for a day so they could yell at the women and children and fix the results.

Now: A less than five minute process while standing in the privacy of your own kitchen.

Did Bloomberg pay for this? Would have been expensive.

4. YIKES!

I so agree this was the best primary I have ever participated in but yelling by R's at women and children? Where on earth do you live?

We always filled all the high school gymnasiums and while it did take many hours everyone was good to each other. I don't ever recall yelling except the yelling of Bernie Bernie, Hillary Hillary. Add in a couple of Johnsons and that was the fill of it.
