I was at my caucus tonight - did I miss anything?

And Minnesota going to a primary for the presidential race really hurt turn out. I didn't expect the crowds we had in 2016 or even 2018 but I thought people were paying a bit more attention to issues & caucuses are great place for those.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Caucuses are exclusionary and undemocratic.

We still caucus for candidates forstate races and to add issues to the state party platform and to elect party officers. Minnesota's caucuses are a bit different from what you've seen in Iowa or Nevada.
