It's actually called a "Preference Poll" in Hawaii.. not a "caucus".. But, anyone can regisiter as a

Dem today and vote for BS.

Which so many @ at my polling place were doing. It seemed like the Twilight Zone to me.

Question: Why do you call it a Presidential Preference Poll and not a Caucus? •Answer: Because it’s not a caucus! The Poll has some similarities with other caucuses. The Democratic Party of Hawaii organizes and pays for the Poll. The Poll results will decide how Hawaii splits our 34 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. The polls are conducted at the local level. But unlike a caucus, the voting in Hawaii is by secret ballot.

Unlike Arizona's PP where you couldn't register Dem the same day you can in Hawaii.. so I pretty much know how that's going to turn out.

Weeks before the elections.. Democrats have been sounding the alarm..

For weeks, some Democrats have been sounding the alarm about not enough polling places in Maricopa County for Tuesday's presidential primary.

They warned that reducing the number of polling places from 200 during the 2012 primary election to 60 would mean long lines and discourage people from voting.

This hurt Hillary, too.. maybe more so.. since the diverse voters like her the best.

Thank you, pandr~

But his failure to rally a diverse coalition, his history of selling out certain liberal ideals for

political expediency, and his peddling of unrealistic promises make him wrong for this political moment."

Quite simply.. BS doesn't have what it takes.

Thanks for the explanation stillone.. more or less what I gathered.. also, one Ms Helen

Purcell(R)..

Maricopa County election officials writing off voters? You bet

For weeks, some Democrats have been sounding the alarm about not enough polling places in Maricopa County for Tuesday's presidential primary.

They warned that reducing the number of polling places from 200 during the 2012 primary election to 60 would mean long lines and discourage people from voting.

They said the fact that some predominantly Latino areas got one or none polling places essentially translates into voter suppression.

Before, it was easy to dismiss their claims as pure conspiracy theories. It was difficult to fathom that Maricopa County election officials would purposely design a plan to keep people, especially minorities, away from the polls.

So we looked at an area, and factored into that how many early ballots we usually get in that area and how many people normally vote at the polls. We didn’t look at it as legislative districts. We looked at the overall picture of our voters.”

So, it is no coincidence many poor and predominantly Latino areas didn’t get a polling place. Purcell and her staff figured few of them vote anyway.

She just decided to discount them. Really.

LOL.. and here I thought it was all about

the Arizonans!

The Hualapai Tribe is a federally recognized Indian Tribe located in northwestern Arizona. “Hualapai” (pronounced Wal-lah-pie) means “People of the Tall Pines.” In 1883, an executive order established the Hualapai reservation.
