Mar 2016

The Sanders group included two sisters one in her 20's and the other maybe 18 or 19, a young couple maybe late 20's, also a couple maybe in their 30's, a lady in her 40's (I hope she forgives me if I am wrong), and two older gentleman 60+. All of our group were enthusiastic and we had no trouble getting volunteers to be delegates to the next level. The Clinton group were very nice ladies ages from 50 and higher. They had a little difficulty finding someone willing to be a delegate.

Interesting was that one of the older gentleman Sanders supporters was associated with the Sanders campaign in a volunteer capacity and was there (he was a legitimate member of our caucus) to monitor the process to ensure that no shenanigans happened.
He said that the Sanders group (not sure who he meant) was looking to get a Sanders supporter in every caucus to monitor for misdeeds. He took photos of our list of delegates for example and was very interested in the delegate allocation process.
