is that, last I heard, the DNC said that they will not count our delegates at all if we comply with state law. There's no point in even having a caucus if no delegates from the state will be seated because of a state law we can not change at this time.

I really just want to go and vote, instead of spending weeks preparing for a thing that no one really wants to go to...DH and I usually end up running at least one (and sometimes 2) precincts in our town. It's so much work.

But, I do want our delegates to be counted with the other states'.
