My Washington precinct

Consisted of 42 people. And we were allotted 7 delegates. Of that total, 5 went to Bernie and 2 to Hillary. As precinct Commitee Officer, it still amazes me the power these 42 people had. They represented 7% of the state total. That alone is reason enough to eliminate the caucus process and move to an actual primary.

Don't misunderstand, I am a Bernie supporter. But based on the limited space we had for our Legislative District, there is no way we could include everyone who would have voted over those who caucused.

1. There are 27,000 precinct delegates

 

Your 42 votes are not 7% of the state delegates. My precinct only had 6 delegates, but we had 122 people show up.

2. The delegates you elect are not national delegates. Your precinct did not represent 7% statewide

3. My mistake, you are correct.

 

Sorry for the confusion. But I still would prefer a primary over a caucus.
