The trend toward eliminating caucuses and replacing them with primary elections is disturbing, and I think Bernie Sanders was unwise to support it. Not just because it has come back to bite him as he has done better in caucuses, but because participatory, in-person meetings are more empowering to individuals at the grassroots level. When people aren’t required to be present in person and it’s simply a matter of counting ballots, it is easier to rig elections. Sadly the Democratic Party and others who continue to rely on electronic voting and do not insist on verifiable paper trails, are either naively unconcerned about this, or are actively seeking to perpetuate electoral fraud.
Govts any more/less control freak statist in ALL paper mail ballot regimes [like OR, WA, etc] than others ???
