Today's caucus - winner will not be announced tonight

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

What is important to understand about Saturday is the Washington Democratic Party will not be announcing a winner. Officials said the purpose of Saturday is to elect 27,170 delegates from the precinct caucuses statewide. That number will be winnowed down at county and congressional district caucuses in May.

What will be learned Saturday is how many of those 27,170 delegates are backing Sanders or Clinton. Party officials think initial results will start coming in around 2 p.m. and every thing done by dinner. Last two paragraphs of article

This is not new nor nefarious. I was a delegate in 2004. It was done this way back then.

2. How do you make sure that the delegate will really represent who they are sent to represent? n/t

3. That's the point.

We select our precinct delegates in precinct caucuses to represent us at the next level. Which is the county caucus. Where the next set of delegates will be selected to represent us to the state caucus. Where the delegates are selected for the national convention. It's all a representational selection process that cascades up from our neighborhood base.
