I don't drive and the caucus was a good half hour away from my house. Attending would have required 4-5 hours. Due to medications, it is impossible for me to remain awake after 8 p.m. Plus there's a certain bathroom issue. So I most assuredly hope they switch to the primary system.

My deepest gratitude to all of you who did attend. We are definitely in need of voting Democrats in this state.
