2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI went to the caucus last night with the intention of voting for Bernie Sanders...
It was like a rock concert. We stood in a line for about two blocks, waiting to get into the elementary school. We finally made it into a small, crowded classroom. After about an hour and a half, I was experiencing severe back pains and had to leave. But my wife stayed behind to vote.
She said they split the room up between Hillary and Bernie supporters and the vote ended up 41-41. The lady in charge asked if one person was missing? My wife explained that I had to leave because of the back pain. So they had to flip a coin to break the tie. Hillary won.
She received 3 delegates and Bernie received 2. Fortunately, Bernie did not need the extra delegate here in Colorado. But I guess one vote can make a difference? I had no intention of voting for Hillary.

I'm an old coot myself and cant take only so much standing. This is one of the main reasons I don't like caucusing and prefer the conventional voting. Sorry you got nailed.
