Sanders has surged ahead in ND. HRC's lead is narrowing in SD but still good, with 43% reporting.

Exactly. Caucuses enable bullies to suppress the votes of working people and parents.

Well ND is a caucus and that is where Bernie does best.

Not saying Clinton would win a primary in ND, but look at the disparity between ND and SD. They are not THAT different demographically. Caucuses are long drawn-out bumbling clusterfucks that serve only to suppress the vote.

People with kids (and a life) don't have time for that shit.
There is no justification for a caucus over a primary. And there is no justification for not allowing mail-in ballots.
